<p>DefyLegacy I’d never heard about Dartmouth until recently either! I only heard about it because a girl in my school decided to apply to all 8 ivy leagues schools so when she prattled off the list and mentioned Dartmouth and Brown I was like Huh? I’d never heard of those far more thought that they were Ivy League. In Trinidad, everyone knows about Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT. Columbia and Cornell are in notch below and no-one really cares about the rest. ( A lot of people here don’t know UPenn is Ivy League either). The term “Ivy League” doesn’t really say much unless it’s HYP. I personally don’t think Cornell is great because EVERYONE I know who applied to Cornell this year, myself included was accepted with the exception of one girl who was waitlisted. And quite a few of those persons did not have spectacular SATs, ECs or transcripts and were rejected from the other “top” universities they applied to.</p>
