I'm glad you asked.  RACISM!  That black guy probably gave Andrew Berman, nephew of an admissions executive, a blowjob because black people are prone to do that.  If they didnt give so much head, who knows what schools they would be going to.  Bunker Hill?  Who knows?  Well when Ross Berman finally made it to earth he decided to give Eddy Curry and now blacks can get into any school of their choice.  I'm sure this is correct.  Peace ttyl.

First off, I went to Harvard.\nSecond off, I want to respond to the first asnwer on here, who talks about how the "Ivy leage was founded upon traditions of excellend, yada yada yada"\n\nlet me make this clear:\nTHE IVY LEAGUE IS NOTHING MORE THAN AN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE\nThat's all it is.\n"Ivy Leage" does not really mean anything about academics.\n\nIt just happens that all the Ivy League schools are very good.\nBut they are not equal.\nHarvard, Yale, and Princeton are consistently among the top 5 Unversities in the country.\nColumbia, Brown, Princeton, and UPenn are usually in the top 20 or so.\nCornell is not considered as strong.\nThere are several private universities which are better than some of the Ivies, and several State schools which are better than some of the Ivies.\n\nI don't mean to be obtuse about this, but I think the "Ivy League" has kind of a false reputation. People need to realize that all it really means is that those 8 schools compete against each other in sports, and that together, they are not the pinnacle of higher education. People should look at individual schools.\n\nNow, to actually answer your question about workload.\nI didn't actually feel that the workload at Harvard was that particularly difficult. And having spoken to my friends at several othe universities, including big state schools, I really don't think Harvard is any more difficult than they are.\nIn fact, I think some state schools are probably HARDER than Harvard. That's because at Harvard its VERY hard to flunk out. Pretty much the lowest possible grade you can get is a C. No one at Harvard gets Ds or Fs. Why is this? Is it because Harvard students are just naturally smart? Maybe... But many Harvard students, once they reach Harvard, develop bad study habits...just like students anywhere else. Many of them turn in sub-par work. A bad Harvard essay that gets a C could easily get a D or an F at a state school. That's because harvard wants to keep its retention rates and graduation rates high, and because most people are paying lots of money to be there.\nState schools dont care if they flunk people out, because their mission is to education the young people of the state, and there are always lots more who would be happy to take the place of those who flunk out.\n\nThat said, there's a lot of variability. Arizona State is probably easier than Berkeley. \n\nBut professors are professors, and no matter where they teach, they generally expect high quality work of students, or else they hand out poor grades.\n\nSo, in conclusion:\nI think the difference in difficulty between Ivies and state schools is neglible.\n\nRemember, too, that there is a huge range in difficulty between different departments within the same university.\nScience and engineering tends to be harder in grading than humanities. Thats a fact, whether you're talking about Harvard OR Arizona State.

Perhaps this person is from a different country and has a different first language, thus I commend him for being able to speak english well at all, nevertheless get his point across. \n\nIt's tough to know what do do after all that, but I don't think you should rely on your school to place you somewhere. Start applying now to places you want to work, I don't know if this site will help, but it's an easy way to get your resume out there: \nwww.monster.com

Cambridge, MA. No white trash, no blacks sucking your taxes and stealing your wallet, just intelligent people who realize immigration is the backbone of USA. Legal or illegal: it's just a matter of a piece of paper. Just like your citizenship. Without it, you'd be called a beaner, an alien...other trash talk by a supposedly "friendly" "American" society. THe truth is, US are the most xenophobic country in the world. No wonder you go drop bombs wherever you feel like. Then blame N. Korea wanting to be like you?Hyporcites! \nCambridge recently proclaimed itself safe haven for immigrants.Welcome! Educated people stand behind immigration:without it NONE of you would be here ever!

Yes a foreign student can find a free seat in America. He can apply for a scholarship both for MS and PHD. Also scholarships are available for BS degrees also.\nYou need to check with the individual university for the details. Normally the admission office of the university handles this matter. You may also write to the administrative office r of the concerned department where you want to seek admission.\n\nApart from the scholarships awarded by an university, you may also refer some public and private organisations which fund studies of foreign students in America.\n\nBest wishes.\n\nRavi

I'm from there, be alert from cheaters especially when they see foreigners. Also be aware of pick picketers in the crowd. Other than that peoples are friendly and helpful over there. But use your own judgment. Good luck.

Not necessarily either.  If you're concerned, contact their office of admissions.

Yep the system is pretty pathetic.  The UK generally doesn't recognise anything.  Two of my friends have degrees from their mother countries.  One had to do a conversion exam; the other had to start from scratch as her degree was not recognised in the UK at all.  Bit arrogant.  All those years of study not recognised!  I wouldnt be pleased.

MIT has long had an outstanding rep in linguistics. If you studied at MIT in the last 30 years or currently, you best be \nof the Champsky persuasion. Studying at Harvard would not be a good idea, in this field.  The other side is located at the University\nof Chicago.  All other places are derived from these two.

Yes, I knew about the voting part but I had no idea about the scholarships. The colleges definitely should not do that since naturalization has nothing to do with how well they learn. They need to change that. But I do agree with the voting part, you shouldn't be able to vote because a citizen of a foreign country shouldn't be able to make decisions for another country.
