Are Harvard or MIT students happier? My son was an economics major at MIT. He took an econ class at Harvard via cross-registration just to see what Harvard was like, and because the class was offered at a more convenient time of day. He was astonished that the class had no math in it. How can you teach economics without math?? The Harvard econ class ended up being more applied philosophy than economics. MIT students generally are much happier than Harvard students, just as most STEM majors are much happier than liberal arts majors. Why? In STEM fields, generally problems have a correct answer, which the prof usually supplies. Your challenge is to show your work, to show how you got it. If everyone gets the right answer, everyone gets an A. Students cooperate and form study groups, and help each other. In the liberal arts, by contrast, if you are looking for symbolism in Shakespeare, there is no right answer. If you get an insight that other students don’t get, you get the A and they don’t. You’re not competing against the STEM problem, you are instead competing against your fellow students. Not a good recipe for happiness. ©️ Quora ✍️ Dm: @ton_adres ✔️ @fulltuition

I applied as a transfer student to MIT and didn't get in, but the rejection letter said I was an excellent applicant. Should I try again? First congratulations. MIT truly means that, when they state you are an excellent applicant. Note, each year MIT enrolls 1,100 freshmen and only (roughly) 20 transfer students. The admission rate for freshmen is around 8% and for transfer students it is around 2%. It is Very difficult to transfer to MIT. Given that MIT recommends that you attempt to transfer to MIT while a Sophomore at your current college, that means if you wait one year and apply next year., and succeed to transfer to MIT, you will have completed three years at your college, but MIT will Require you to repeat a year at MIT (attend MIT for two years). Instead, it is best to concentrate on being one of the top three students in your department at your current college, and doing an Excellent senior capstone project. Then with some glowing hot letters of recommendation from your professors, you can become a Fully-Funded MIT graduate student after receiving your bachelors degree from your current college. MIT has roughly 4,400 undergraduates and Over 6,500 graduate students. It is Far easier to become a graduate student at MIT than to transfer in as an undergraduate. Focus on your current college for now. All the best. ©️ Quora ✍️ Dm: @ton_adres ✔️ @fulltuition

My friend got into MIT and he's like really stupid. Should I notify MIT admissions so they don't embarrass themselves? Let me tell you a little story. When I was studying physics at MIT, there was a girl, also majoring in physics , who used to ask… ummm… really basic questions during the lectures. Some people would look at each other, thinking: “I can’t believe she doesn’t know that…”! When senior year came around and we were all applying to physics graduate schools, that girl scored a perfect 800 on the Advanced Test in Physics, no mean feat, beating yours truly I might add, among several others. She applied to and was accepted into programs at Caltech, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, UC Berkeley, and Chicago. Undergrads rarely stay at MIT because the Professors advise us to go elsewhere to get a different perspective.. You NEVER know what is going on underneath; a lesson for us all.. ©️ Quora ✍️ Dm: @ton_adres ✔️ @fulltuition

Is it possible for MIT or Caltech financial aid to cover all tuition? I interviewed an MIT applicant about nine years ago. Brilliant young lady. She was admitted to MIT and to Caltech (the only two colleges she applied to). MIT wanted her family to pay a hefty amount and for her to take out $6,000 per year in Stafford loans (typical for MIT). Caltech treated her like a graduate student: Free tuition and a stipend towards room and board. She asked me what to do. I said fly out to Pasadena and check out the campus and students. She did and loved it. I told her: Fine, go to Caltech and then later go to MIT as a professor....... She did..... ©️ Quora (8 years ago) ✍️ Dm: @ton_adres ✔️ @fulltuition

I was rejected from NYU but accepted into Columbia. How? NYU didn’t want you but Columbia did. It is a myth propagated by insecure students and their arrogant parents that “top” schools accept only the “top” students, and as you go down the pecking order of prestige the students are less accomplished. That is nonsense. There are far too many top students in the United States to fill the incoming class of even the best 50 Universities and liberal arts colleges in the country. That means that admission in many cases is a lottery, and a lot of very deserving students are going to be disappointed if they really wanted to attend a specific school. Schools will also look for reasons to accept some students and reject others that have nothing to do with anything that you can do to influence their decision. In your case, both these schools are in New York, but suppose you were a New Yorker rejected by Columbia but accepted by Stanford. The simple reason could have been that Columbia doesn’t want a class full of New Yorkers, and Stanford doesn’t want a class full of Northern Californians. In that case a candidate becomes more attractive to Stanford than Columbia, all else being equal. You don’t say which programs you were applying to, and that can also play a significant role. Maybe the program at NYU is more competitive than the comparable program at Columbia. Who knows? You don’t give enough data. The point of course is that you really shouldn’t care. Either school will give you a great education, and both are in New York, so you get the same experience there. As to post graduation, you will have to make it on your own, regardless of the career you choose. A good college can help you get your first job, but having gone there won’t help you keep your job if you don’t perform, or if the economy goes into recession, or if your company gets taken over, or any of the other one million reasons why people lose their jobs in the 21st century United States. ©️ Quora (8 years ago) ✍️ Dm: @ton_adres ✔️ @fulltuition

What do Harvard students think of MIT students? My wife is an MIT alum (we met senior year through online dating). We have a standard joke: whenever I fail at doing arithmetic, or whenever she misspells a word or gets some grammar wrong, our response when the other partner calls us on it is invariably, "Yeah, yeah, wrong end of the street." "The street" is, of course, Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge, on which both Harvard and MIT are located, Harvard being on the western end of Cambridge and MIT being on the eastern end. The point is that we consider each other to have different strengths. This is not so much a trait shaped by where we attended college, as a trait that shaped where we chose to apply and attend. With some exceptions, my mind deals in qualitative concepts (art, history, politics, sociology, literature), while hers deals in quantitative concepts (advanced math, engineering, process analysis, statistics, modeling and simulation). That distinction is one that carries over in part to how the schools' curricula are laid out. Although Harvard has many students who choose STEM-related fields of study, it requires a broad grounding in the liberal arts for all students through its General Education requirements, and there are only two Engineering degrees: A.B. and S.B. (separated by their rigor). MIT, in contrast, has multiple engineering courses, each encompassing a different field of engineering (I want to say five or six, but I may be underestimating; a "course" is like a major at other schools), but only one "Humanities" course; furthermore, it has several required classes that everyone must take, including single-variable and multi-variable calculus, biology, chemistry, and two fields of physics. I personally think I would have failed out of MIT very quickly. I have nothing but admiration for the quantitative skills MIT students and alumni possess. On the other hand, I think my wife is smarter than me and would have done fine at Harvard, although she denies being smarter than me, so I guess we're at an impasse on that one! ©️ Quora (8 years ago) ✍️ Dm: @ton_adres ✔️ @fulltuition

I got rejected from MIT. Would it be frowned upon if I sent an appeal letter to the MIT dean and the admissions office? Short answer, there is no such thing as an “appeal letter” for admissions. The question really is, “I was rejected by MIT. If I ask them politely, will they tell me why I was rejected?” Let’s pretend you did. Here is your answer: Dear Applicant, Thank you for your interest in MIT. We appreciate your effort in submitting an application that reflected your personality and qualifications, and the effort of those who recommended you. Frankly, this year we had a TON of qualified applicants. Last year we thought we got a boatload of qualified applicants, and this year we got even more, and we don’t have any more beds for freshmen than last year. In fact, we’ve been accepting roughly the same number of incoming freshmen since before there were electronic calculators! MIT’s campus is landlocked and there is only so much space for dorms. Plus, MIT’s yield rate has increased dramatically, so even when we added new dorms, we couldn’t increase the number of students we accepted. For every applicant we accepted, we rejected maybe 10(?) who were great people and capable of being successful at MIT. We just didn’t have the room! For the Class of 2023, we received 21,312 applications and we made 1,427 offers of admission (6.7%). That led to 1,107 students enrolled—a yield rate of nearly 78%. 1,107 is about how many dorm beds we have for freshmen. Back in the slide rule era, we had room for about 900 freshmen, but the yield rate was lower, so we were admitting about the same number of applicants as today, maybe even more back then, although we get 5 times as many applicants now. This year, we accepted the 1,427 or so applicants that we felt would provide the best possible freshman class. We’re sorry, but you weren’t one of them. A few of our applicants just didn’t have the qualifications or were bad matches for our mission. But chances are you are a great kid and we just liked other applicants more. And chances are that you were accepted at one or more universities that might be better matches for you. We hope you attend a school that’s ideal for you and do well there and throughout your future. Good luck! Your future is what you make it. Respectfully, Tim the Beaver ©️ Quora ✍️ Dm: @ton_adres ✔️ @fulltuition

Why was I accepted to MIT and Stanford without any hooks, but rejected from every single Ivy? Are these schools looking for different things? With little information on you, I will assume that you applied to Stanford Early. Colleges love students who seem like a good fit, and indicate that they really want to attend by applying early. For MIT, you had the correct amount of Nerdiness. If you were admitted to both MIT and Stanford, then your academic prowess goes without question. Hooks? You had hooks, but did not realize it. You believed (correct???) that both MIT and Stanford are a great fit for You, and those colleges looked at your application material, including all of those wonderful letters of recommendation, and determined that you would be a good fit with the college’s undergraduate community. Congratulations, you were admitted to two Fine universities. Of course, you did make One Glowingly Bad decision during your application process: You applied, according to your question, to all Eight of the colleges in the Ivy Athletic league. Bad, bad, bad. You are probably not an athlete and that looked bad, No one. No single person, is a good fit with all eight of those colleges. Therefore you were perceived as indecisive and not a good judge of what is best for you. Be glad that at least two of the ten accepted you. Look at the bright side, and enjoy Cambridge, MA. You must be more than slightly nerdy, and you might as well join all of us at the ‘Tute. All the best. ©️ Quora ✍️ Dm: @ton_adres ✔️ @fulltuition
