[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CalTech and MIT are strictly merit. They are no-nonsense schools and are perceived as such. Harvard, on the other hand, weighs irrelevant factors such as legacy, URM, etc. It's considered "soft" - and not considered on par with CalTech or MIT. [/quote] This. You take any CalTech or MIT student and you know you have someone special who is intellectually capable. There are so many backdoors to Harvard, you can't say the same for its students. Harvard is screwing itself by placing stumbling blocks in front of capable Asian students. [/quote] I would agree with Caltech, not with MIT. Look at the Asian percentages at both schools. You know MIT is looking at non academic factors and is trying hard to boost it's sex ratio. [/quote] MIT fields some surpassingly competitive athletic teams so right there you know they’re playing similar games as Harvard regarding soft attributes.[/quote]
