@monydad AFAIK back in the 70s and 80s Penn and Cornell were at the bottom more or less. Penn maybe was a bit more so but these two shared the distinction of being doormat ivies over all the others. These two were considered the stepchildren of the ivies. Penn took a huge dive throughout the 50s, 60s, 70s compared to what it was in the earlier part of the 20th century. It hit rock bottom in the 80s I think. Things started changing dramatically for Penn starting in the mid-90s, mainly because of the complete overhaul that Judith Rodin spearheaded and also because of other more general trends in higher ed.
