<p>Harvard loves ballet dancers!</p>
<p>Freddie wasn’t so hot on them.</p>
<p>Both Harvard and Princeton attract accomplished ballet dancers and have done so for some time. </p>
<p>Hargadon admitted quite a few students who were former professional ballet dancers or who had attended the top schools and summer programs. Also, Princeton has a for-credit dance department, and a student can do a certificate (minor); Harvard’s is extracurricular. </p>
<p>Harvard has some amazing dancers, NYCB, etc., but whether the university “loves” them is an interesting question; the year my d was looking at colleges they announced they were taking away the dancers’ studio/performance space and using it for another purpose, and there was a pretty long and intense battle before they finally promised them somewhere else. In the meantime I know at least one ballet dancer who did not apply. ;-)</p>
<p>You are being overly literal and missing the point, which related to a substantial alteration of Princeton’s “diversity” goals under Rapelye as compared to Hargadon’s search for the “Princeton type.”</p>
<p>The result will be a less homogeneous class, and one with - very likely - a higher SAT median.</p>
<p>Byerly, there were plenty of memos “leaked” to the Net about diversity goals in the Hargadon era, and many of them related to finding more students involved in the arts. This had already been a policy under Hargadon during his last few years. That is “the point” I am making. Under Rapelye other kinds of diversity are now receiving attention.</p>
<p>Yes, this was something Freddie was pestered about, but in typical Freddie fashion he made a show of responding but pretty much continued to do things his own way to the bitter end.</p>
<p>Princeton’s dance program is the most integrated in the Ivies. Yeah, Columbia has the connection to Juilliard and Barnard etc. but the only place you can dance at a high level and have it integrated into the curriculum and also take part in dance clubs that play a large role in the social fabric of the university is Princeton. Stanford actually comes closest in that Christine Elliot from ABT teaches there and leads the Cardinal Ballet.</p>
<p>“princeton is still known as the premiere school for lax”</p>
<p>Sorry to sound trivial, but that award has to go to Johns Hopkins University</p>
<p>hopkins is definitely NOT the premiere school for lax. i don’t care how many times they’ve earned a #1 seed, they haven’t won the NCAA tournament since 1987. in the meantime, syracuse has won it eight times (although one was vacated because of infractions), and princeton has won it six times.</p>
<p>how bout comparing the workload at each ivy?</p>
<p>Yeah…let’s get back on topic.</p>
<p>1=most work
8=least work</p>
<p>1.Cornell
2.Princeton
3.Yale
4.Harvard
5.Columbia
6.Dartmouth
7.Brown
8.Penn</p>
<p>i believe yale requires more several more courses than princeton.</p>
<p>Keynes,</p>
<p>Rankings are always problematic, but workload is VERY DEPENDENT on major. At Cornell, an engineering, premed, or architecture student does a lot more work than a English major.</p>
<p>All these schools should be rigorous, but it is highly variable by student and program within the university.</p>
<p>You can get a bad education at any of them if you try hard enough, but a TOP NOTCH education is available to those that apply themselves.</p>

<p>Cornell won this year’s Sucking Award.</p>
<p>For sucking.</p>
<p>Columbia and Penn tied for Coke-blowing this year.</p>
<p>f.scottie - 4 credits more at yale, but much harder to get an A at princeton.</p>
<p>why is penn on the bottom, btw?</p>
<p>Johnny K,</p>
<p>I believe you’re mistaken, Penn won the sucking award this year</p>
<p>Check out the lacrosse standings:</p>
<p><a href=“General - Ivy League”>General - Ivy League;
<p>or better yet, check out hockey:</p>
<p><a href=“General - Ivy League”>General - Ivy League;
<p>whoops…Penn doesn’t have a hockey team.</p>
<p>LOL</p>
<p>Wharf</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>soemone has to be at the bottom. i guess penn just takes that spot =P i agree with it tho. that list is pretty accurate</p>
<p>i might actually switch penn and brown</p>
<p>I was talking about sucking at being a university, not sucking in athletics.</p>
