Is Harvard a meme /sci/?

harvard is a very good school for grad school and being a professor, but the ultra-elite US universities typically offer a bad undergrad education. the fact that their graduation rates are all like 99.5% is very clear evidence that they baby their undergrads and make it far too easy to pass everything. i know this from 1st hand experience (not Harvard though but another on that tier)

Or is it because they admit better students?

Nope. Grade inflation is very common at top universities like Harvard.

>>10558506
all the top 20-30 schools have very good applicants. in fact the uber-elites like harvard actually probably have more of the "dad donated 7 million" students who don't deserve to get in. a school like, say, Berkeley or U Chicago or Johns Hopkins or Duke probably have as smart students imo

he's talking about admissions, not their grades after they get in

>> No.10558548

At this point, most of the top 30 has homogenized. Unless you are specifically interested in a faculty member it doesn't really matter that much at this point since all the really cool stuff Harvard and other elite schools have access to is likely gonna be off limits to undergrads anyways.

Grade inflation is real, but it's real at pretty much every school unless you happen to be a special kind of sadist and specifically try to grade deflate (like Boston College) but this doesn't actually work that well anyways.

Still, everybody knows that entering unis like that is more dependent on who you know, rather than what. For instance, it's usually the overachievers who get perfects As in highschool, get club presidencies, and win regional debate or something. All of the accomplishments being pretty much solely based on social connections.

Hard to say that because most people in the top 30's are nearing a 4.0 GPA due to grade inflation in high school. Shit, go into the 50s and the average admitted GPA is still like a 3.8 to 3.9

No, the 99% graduation rate is due to rampant grade inflation

Yeah, well tell me what a tensor is then

>> No.10558766

>>10558752
a tensor is basically a generalization of a vector; a vector lives in a vector space and has one element for each linearly independent basis vector of the vector space, and it transforms under certain transformation rules, while a tensor has one column and one row for each basis vector of the vector space and transforms under basically the same transformation rules.

Fucking I studied recently linear algebra on my uni and I couldn't remember this.
