<p>For international students, how would you rank the Ivys by prestige ONLY? As in the context of your community?</p>
<p>My rank:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Harvard</p></li>
<li><p>Princeton</p></li>
<li><p>Yale</p></li>
<li><p>Columbia</p></li>
<li><p>Cornell</p></li>
<li><p>Dartmouth</p></li>
<li><p>UPenn</p></li>
<li><p>Brown</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>HYP</li>
<li>CCUp</li>
<li>BD</li>
</ol>
<p>I’d rank it as:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Harvard</p></li>
<li><p>Princeton</p></li>
<li><p>Cornell</p></li>
<li><p>Yale</p></li>
<li><p>UPenn</p></li>

<p>Cornell is by far the easiest ivy to get into. Penn is next easiest. Brown/Columbia/Dartmouth are closely clustered and switch off as to most competitive year over year. HYP are clearly the holy trinity.</p>

<p>2college2college…If it is so easy to gain admission have you done so? You have no idea what you are talking about. You obviously do not understand that Cornell is a huge school so the stats can not be considered in the same way as say H,P,Y or the other Ivy’s that are much smaller.</p>
<p>BYT…Get admitted and attend and than speak about how easy Cornell is…we will all enjoy hearing your perspective after the fact.</p>

<p>Thank you momma-three, many people don’t realize that Cornell and UPenn are at least twice as large as the other ivys and therefore can’t be compared in the same way. </p>
<p>For example, UPenn and Cornell enroll about 20,000 people each, while Princeton enrolls 7,500 and Dartmouth enrolls 5,000. And if you are willing to go deeper than that, UPenn and Cornell have programs and schools inside of them which are more selective than the other ivy’s themselves think Huntsman and Wharton in UPenn, or AEM in Cornell. Sadly, most people don’t bother to go further than just plainly looking at the acceptance rate and making there decisions on prestige off of that.</p>
<p>Mama-three, for 15 years I have worked with underprivileged kids applying to elite colleges. It is simple fact that Cornell has the highest acceptance rate among the ivies. The land grant schools have a considerably lower admissions standard than any ivy.</p>
<p>What I wrote are simple facts.</p>
<p>As for me, no, I didn’t apply to Cornell. I did apply to HYP and attended one for undergrad and another for grad school.</p>
<p>word cornell is a joke to get into fo undergrad</p>

<p>Ok 2college2college, I’ve heard what you have to say, but what about those persons with super applications that would make people assume they could get into anywhere. What about those persons with the so called “supper apps” that apply to schools like Yale and get accepted and use schools like Cornell as a “safety” and get rejected. Every school have their own way of looking at admissions, and one thing that makes Cornell not as predictable as the others is that they want to see “Fit”.</p>
<p>As to you helping underprivileged students applying to selective schools, remember some schools consider factors such as low income or socioeconomic status, etc. as hooks. So that may be a deciding factor also.</p>

<p>In terms of prestige purely, that’s what I figure.
And about the Cornell debate, easy to get into or not, Cornell is still one of the best universities in the world. And it depends on your stream really. I, for example, am doing engineering. Cornell is the best Ivy for engineering, and then Princeton. The rest are far behind. So the real deal lies underneath the prestige issues.</p>
<p>Schools I think are equal to or better than the Ivies = Stanford, MIT, CalTech, Hopkins, UChicago & Duke.</p>
