Cornell is the best school in the world END OF STORY!!!!!

Colleges & Universities Cornell University
21

<p>ARWU is mainly a ranking for the graduate component of the respective schools. Brown is ranked 70 because they are not as strong as the other 69 schools in graduate-level research. The same applies for Dartmouth.</p>

22

<p>naturally i was referring to the undergraduate aspect of the universities since almost 100% of the students viewing this thread are undergraduates – so why would you use a graduate ranking system to prove one undergrad school as better than another, idk</p>

23

<p>Does it really matter if Cornell is better than Upenn?
Rankings= unreliable, move on.</p>

24

<p>Haha, I didn’t mean to diss Brown. I’m just saying that since the UPenn kids ■■■■■ our boards for some odd reason we should ■■■■■ and harass some other Ivy</p>

25

<p>there is a small penn v cornell war going on on the penn forums right now, its pretty funny.</p>

26

<p>OP, you know you sound just as bad (if not worse) as any other person who has hated on Cornell, right?</p>

27

<p>Let’s ask “The Office”:</p>

<p>Creed: It’s pronounced “colonel,” it’s the highest rank in the military.
Andy: It’s pronounced “CORNELL!” It’s the highest rank in the Ivy League.

<p>There ya go.</p>

<p>rankings don’t matter…seems that they are pretty transient and that any top 20 college could easily be ranked above it’s colleagues depending on how you count…stop being so superficial jeez</p>

29

<p>sucks to be school 21 =(</p>

30

<p>any top 25 college…then berkeley should be top 20 rankings are arbitrary and not always good indicators of a college’s quality</p>

31

<p>I suspect the sudden skirmish with UPenn is rooted in their increased admit rate and Cornell’s decreased. With only 2% separating the two schools, they need to rely on alternative tactics to establish their sense of superiority.</p>

<p>I also think - or perhaps hope - the OP was be sarcastic. Everyone Duke is the greatest school in the world … just ask them.</p>

32

<p>people will always say the school they go to is the best and will find different ways to prove it</p>
