Why is Cornell considered (by some) to be the worst ivy?

<p>I don’t know. I think Cornell is a very, very good school and has very good academics. You can’t really rank them because each school is good for different things and fills their own little niche in the Ivy League. That said though, it’s important not to develop an Ivy Centric mindset. I’d say there are plenty of amazing schools that aren’t in the Ivy League that offer equal if not superior educations (Duke, University of Chicago, MIT, Stanford, Northwestern University, UC Berkeley and UCLA).</p>
