What are you looking for? Penn and Cornell have the most to offer in terms of different departments and can add a lot of breadth to your undergraduate studies. If you want a small, intimate environment, go to Princeton for hard sciences/engineering, Yale for humanities, Brown for hippies, and Dartmouth for frat parties. Columbia has a whole other factor for undergraduate education with the core because all undergrads take many of the same classes the first 2 years and have similar experiences. It all depends on what your definition of “best undergrad” is. Different people want different experiences. Personally, I liked Penn and Cornell because I felt I could get the most out of my education, and TAs aren’t so bad. If you need small classes and must attend an Ivy, apply to Brown, Dartmouth, Princeton, and Yale. Personally, I think WASP and other top LACs will give you a more personal education than any Ivy, but to each his own.
