[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] The reverse side of this coin is that no one's ever dissed URM who attends Cal Tech or MIT of being a lesser student. Cal Tech or MIT would not admit students who cannot do the work. Not so much at Harvard. Any meathead who got in through the backdoor at Harvard can be a communications major and cruise to a degree there. [/quote]
