[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate how people always bring up the whole "UMD STEM major/Harvard English major" dichotomy. There are kids at Harvard who major in STEM, and contrary to many people's belief some of those departments are top notch. Harvard has a great chemistry department, for example. However, I can see how someone would have a better undergraduate experience (less TAs, for example) at Yale or Princeton without any sacrifice to "name recognition"....[/quote] How do you define "stellar"? The coursework is easy. Everyone gets As or Bs at Harvard.[/quote] Just because most people get As or Bs at Harvard doesn't mean the coursework is easy. It means that the school is insanely selective, and bases that selection on (drumroll....) HOW WELL PEOPLE DO AT SCHOOL AND ON TESTS! See how tha works? You want to impose a bell curve grading system on that, and it just doesn't make sense.[/quote]
