[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just happy that people aren’t putting 3 at the top. There’s too many PhDs coming out of the Ivy league, let alone the rest of the T50, to even begin suggesting that there’s some extreme difference in education. Unless your kid is on the bounds and is highly highly intelligent (like top 0.001%) where they need specialized/accelerated instruction to the level of grad school near freshman year, you’re probably receiving a very similar education to others.[/quote]
Even a standard freshman course like math 2230 at Cornell will exceed the level of rigor of any freshman math course at most lower ranked universities[/quote]

Compre this to the freshman math options at most other lower ranked schools (e.g. any VA school besides UVA)[/quote]

DP. Both my kids are at different Ivy/T10s. Both have options similar to cornell’s for freshman. One of them did DE in high school at a 4-yr school in Virginia that has an engineering school and is ranked in the top 75 overall. That school had nothing at all like what the T10/ivy have despite the course having a similar name. Their peers took various DE vector calc in HS across the country at various directional states and observed same: all much less rigorous. Except the student who had taken it at Stanford in high school.
