Are Cornell and UPenn suppossed to be arch-rivals when it comes to sports? Sorry, i'm just wondering which Ivy i'm suppossed to hate haha.

If the answer is no, who is Cornell's rival and who is UPenn's?

Minor6th

obviously you're not supposed to hate Penn lol I'm not sure but I hear lots of people making fun of Cornell. "Cor-we're an Ivy i swear-nell" love that one

Penn and Princeton are basketball rivals
Cornell and Harvard are hockey rivals.

Princeton is our rival.

PENN
-sees Princeton as its rival
-makes fun of Cornell not because of any perceived rivalry because it sucks, and everyone makes fun of Cornell.

PRINCETON
-sees Penn as its basketball rival, looks down condescendingly on Penn in every other matter
-fancies itself on equal footing with Harvard and Yale, is not

HARVARD
-mostly so full of themselves they consider themselves peerless
-kind of sees Yale as its rival
-sees Princeton as annoying third-wheel

YALE
-obsessively sees Harvard as its rival
-sees Princeton as "Harvard sucks and Princeton doesn't matter"

CORNELL
-4 out of 5 students can correctly spell their own names

Some wise Princeton people realize that locking horns with Penn would be much better than trying to wedge in between Harvard and Yale (particularly if they ever want a football phenomenon like "The Game" between Harvard and Yale). But the most just want to continue looking down on Penn, popping collars in eating clubs and simmering in anti-semitism.

Columbia would make a good rival as they share Penn's position of being in a sizable American city, unlike Princeton. But they suck at sports.


SO in a nutshell:
-hate princeton because they are your one-sided rivalry
-mock cornell because it sucks
-hate harvard because everyone hates harvard

I don't think Minor6th understood I was kidding (he/she must not be Wharton material haha...kidding again). Thanks for your input everybody.

Minor6th

Hahah guys--- once again, Columbia and Penn should definitely have a rivalry-similar academics (Columbia slightly better<--- this is biased me trying to ignite a rivalry), many many cross applicants, close to big cities, and not stuck up pretentious farts. But yea like someone said- Columbia SUCKS without question at basically all sports that people care about.

^Thats why you guys aren't worth having a rivalry with. What are we supposed to do, laugh in your faces when USNWR rankes us a few spots higher than you again?

plus your mascot has a rack

...for a male lion

Its not a sports rival but within Penn the Collegers and Whartonites usually have a feud in good fun.

Wharton kids claim that SAS-ers are attending the College of Arts and Crafts

While SAS-ers believe that the Whartonites have no souls

truazn8948532

Uh sorry but I don't think any prospective employer has a problem admitting Columbia College is much (twice in fact) more selective than Penn CAS and even moreso than Wharton (although it's entirely a different set of applicants). Just go look up some preferred rankings or Times world rankings or the other world ranking preferences. Penn doesn't make top 20 in any of them.

Garf

beacuse prosepective employers care about admission statistics in comparing ivy league job applicants? oooh well that year penn admitted 18% and columbia admitted 10%, so this person is obviously more qualified... get over yourself, columbia is just as stuck up as the rest

Platero

are you guys serious about Cornell? 4 right names out of five? that's just uncivilized and laughable. ( I mean the person who said it (if he/she means it), not Cornell)
