How does YOUR school stack up.

MSN has an article on the hardest schools to get into. My Alma Mater (U.Penn) came in at 14. Now I got a great education and met some of my very best friends there, but I had to laugh about the "What U.Penn Students Say..." section.

Penn is often referred to as ?The Social Ivy? because its students are rumored to be the hardest partiers in the Ivy League. Many students wear this badge proudly. One student notes that because many students come from families at ?the higher end? of the financial ladder, it can sometimes seem that Penn students ?were all born with silver spoons in? an unprintable part of their anatomies. For a significant portion of the Penn population, fashion savvy and ?designer labels? seem to be social denominators. But Penn is too large a university to let generalities tell the whole story, and despite the stereotypes, the university boasts an admirably diverse student body. And while students admit that racial ?self-segregation? often occurs, they also say that on the whole everyone is ?very friendly? with each other.

That's right! While those stuck up Harvard, Yale and Princeton types were preparing to rule the world, we were getting our ParTay on!

I would say berkeley is harder, well for engineering at least, have cousins that went to columbia and dartmouth number 10 and 12 and they did work thier ass off to get in...for me getting by at UC Davis was enough for a lazy guy that gets the job done

Berkeley EECS is the hardest of Berkeley engineering. UCLA is not the hardest UC to get into.
