IF it were based on who got into the harder school, it would be against ashanti & Will Smith
MIT is one of the hardest schools to get into in the country, kids who want to get in need to go to MIT's summer Camp during hs summer break just to get a little ahead & to know what their going to have to do in order to get accepted ( i almost went, but decided i really had enough of computers and i could not see myself as an engineer or dealing with robotics or doing anything along those lines, plus i dont even think they would have accepted me, with my B average right before i graduated.....but they send a hella lot of junk mail to your house)
Princeton - need i say more..whats the # for most ivy league schools - only the top 5% get accepted??? sumthin like that, she must be smart for even getting accepted
