I received an incredibly nice DM from a parent who has a child at Brown. In response, I wanted to clarify that I think Stanford, MIT, Duke, Chicago are all superior from the standpoint of research but Brown and Dartmouth are obviously their peers when it comes to undergraduate education.

I just get tired of uninformed posters making comments like “X is obviously better than Y because X is an Ivy”. It is absurd. Especially considering how the Ivy League is literally nothing more than an athletic conference (one whose membership is confined to a tiny geographic region).
