In terms of prestige purely, that's what I figure.
And about the Cornell debate, easy to get into or not, Cornell is still one of the best universities in the world. And it depends on your stream really. I, for example, am doing engineering. Cornell is the best Ivy for engineering, and then Princeton. The rest are far behind. So the real deal lies underneath the prestige issues.

So a newspaper ad says ' ....must have Harvard degree.... . A Yale guy calls them up and goes, you mean 2 Princeton guys or a Yale guy part time.
