Harvard- great graduate/professional schools, name, deficient undergraduate education
Yale- ditto, stronger undergraduate program, still falls short of SLAC’s
Princeton- H&Y wannabe, yet greater undergraduate emphasis, preppier
Cornell-eclectic mix (state and private), very large student body, rigorous and a bit grindy
Dartmouth- more like Williams, Middlebury, Amherst
Penn- for those who don’t get in to HYP and yet need to attend an ivy for their self-esteem
Brown- not in the same league as the others, academically, open curriculum, can breeze through
Columbia- fairly intellectual and rigorous, still not a Swarthmore or Chicago
