<p>I’ll be the first to be shamelessly Penn-obsessed.</p>
<p>Undergraduate: UPenn
Graduate: UPenn</p>
<p>Prestige: UPenn then everyone else. Suck on that. (JK… I really don’t care as much as most CC-ers about prestige…)</p>
<p>Undergrad - Brown
Graduate - Princeton </p>
<p>Don’t care about prestige</p>
<p>Undergrad: Cornell
Grad school: Harvard/Columbia
If job prospects were the same: Cornell
If reputations were the same: Cornell
If locations were the same: Cornell</p>
<p>International Prestige:
Harvard, Yale/Wharton, Princeton, Columbia, Penn, Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Undergrad: Cornell
Grad School: UPenn/Harvard
Same Job Prospects: Cornell
Same Reputation: Cornell
Same Locations: Cornell
Whatever I’d Like: Cornell</p>
<p>Most Prestigious ----> Least Prestigious
Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Penn, Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth</p>
<p>Undergrad: Brown or Dartmouth (smallest colleges)</p>
<p>Grad: Columbia (Law, Med or Business)</p>
<p>Who cares about prestige. It’s about the quality of the classroom experience.</p>
<p>Undergrad: Dartmouth
Grad school: Princeton</p>
<p>Most Prestigious -----> Least Prestigious
Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, Penn, Cornell, Brown</p>
<p>undergrad - Princeton. was my top choice.
grad school - HKS
if job prospects were the same - Princeton
if reputations were the same - Princeton
if locations were the same - Princeton</p>
<p>yeah. I lived there for 15 years though, so some change probably won’t kill me.</p>
<p>PRESTIGE:</p>
<p>Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Penn, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth </p>
<p>CURRENT CLASS OF 2013 ACCEPTANCE RATE:</p>
<p>Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, Penn, Cornell </p>
<p>PERCEPTIONS:</p>
<p>Harvard - More of a graduate school focus. Students can become stressed and competitive. Name speaks for itself otherwise. Location is near other great colleges, if Harvardians get annoying. </p>
<p>Yale - More of an undergraduate focus than Harvard (ergo happier students), residential system, home of the United States’ best law school. Some say it’s in the ghetto, but that doesn’t detract from the enriching experience. </p>
<p>Princeton - Also focused on undergraduate studies. Location is a bit weak (small town), but it’s definitely a pretty campus. Students are happy, albeit somewhat cliquey. There’s grade deflation. </p>
<p>Columbia - It is it’s environment. New York is tough, but full of opportunities. Not the warmest college (or happiest students), and the core is very difficult, but it will prepare you. Very intellectual and independent. </p>
<p>Penn - Preppy, money-hungry Ivy in heart of Philadelphia. </p>
<p>Brown - most liberal, open Ivy. FREEDOM. Happy students. </p>
<p>Cornell - solid school, but not happiest kids. Big Ivy and location’s not great. </p>
<p>Dartmouth - drinking/greek scene kind of overplayed, but very happy students nevertheless. Location is great if you don’t want a city. Beautiful scenery. </p>
<p>I probably wouldn’t choose Penn, Cornell, Columbia, Harvard based on happiness/fit factor (I’m more laid-back). Prestige would tip me in their direction if accepted though, ha.</p>
<p>I don’t really get a preppy vibe from Penn for some reason.</p>
<p>I get preppy mostly from Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth, and Cornell. Yale, Penn, and Columbia strike me as the anti-preppy ones…if there is such a concept.</p>
<p>UnderGrad: Brown, followed closely by Harvard
Grad: Harvard hands down
Same Job Prospects: Brown</p>
<p>Most Prestigious –> Least
H=Y=P, Dartmouth, Penn=Brown=Columbia, Cornell</p>
<p>Undergrad: Brown
Grad: Harvard for PhD or Yale Law</p>
<p>Undergrad: Columbia or Harvard
Grad School: Columbia, Harvard or Yale
Same Job Prospects: Columbia
If reputations were the same: Columbia</p>
<p>columbia. 10char</p>
<p>I think its interesting only one person chose Harvard hands down for undergrad. I mean it may not be as focused on undergrad education, but its still by far the number 1 school in the world. (Endowment, prestige, its HARVARD)</p>
<p>This coming from someone that chose Cornell for nearly all categories on this thread. Just saying I think that’s cool.</p>
<br>

<p>Least pretigious Ivy League school? That’s like asking who is slowest guy in the finals of the Olympic 100 meter race. He may be the slowest of those eight guys but he’s way faster than nearly everybody else.</p>
