<p>[The</a> Ivy League Schools Ranked - Business Insider](<a href=“http://www.businessinsider.com/the-ivy-league-schools-ranked-2013-9]The”>The Ivy League Schools Ranked)</p>
<p>Meaningless, but interesting.</p>
<p>Abstract of article: if you want to work at Business Insider, you damn well better have gone to Harvard, Yale, or Princeton, because the rest of the Ivy League schools are crap. However, because Brown students are SO attractive, we might make an exception for one of its graduates.</p>
<p>Dumb enough article to be funny, rather than offensive. Though because it is so stupid it could be construed as offensive by some.</p>
<p>On Cornell:
“Unfortunately, the school’s high acceptance rate and large class sizes may prove to be a hurdle for students looking for employment after graduation.”</p>
<p>On Penn:
“Despite a low ranking for student’s intelligence…”</p>
<p>…Seriously?</p>
<p>@evanatch
I believe those comments are in context of the Ivy League (e.g, Penn’s low ranking for intelligence within the 8 universities).</p>
<p>What does acceptance rate and class sizes have to do with employment?</p>
<p>if it’s meaningless, why is it interesting?</p>
<p>Another stupid article and ranking with no basis!</p>
<p>Ranked for the non-existent generic applicant?</p>
<p>It’s so pointless. You have to rank them by fit for yourself. What you want to study, what you want in a school, size, location, activities. They’re very different - all old and great institutions.</p>
<p>It’s so petty to rank them when they’re just names to most people who are, sadly, uninformed and more interested in the social elitism that’s carried over from the 50’s.</p>
<p>Fails the conventional wisdom test. Once you leave Harvard Yard, which looks like any NESCAC college main drag, you basically have to dodge a lot of mid-century architectural barnacles before you get to the river houses (Pierson, Quincey, Eliot etc.) the iconic part of the Harvard University campus, and, truth be told, Yale is the gold standard for that sort of thing.</p>
<p>^^Pierson is at Yale, not Harvard.</p>
<p>^^You’re right. I was thinking of Lowell, which is Pierson’s sister college, er, house.</p>
