(Who's the "real Harvard" now?)
Coursework may still be challenging, just that grades are higher.
That being said, these schools are basically pay-to-win. You are all but guaranteed a good GPA and access to strong professional networks. Want to go to Med School, no problem. Average Harvard student has a 3.5 GPA, meanwhile those competing from XX State Schools who are graded on a strict curve have a 3.0
Dont even get me started with Cornell, who grade out of a 4.3 GPA.
