<p>I think you guys disregard Columbia highly !</p>
<p>Cornell is easiest to get into and worst.</p>
<p>Yale sucks too because of the serious cutthroat competition. My cousin dropped out because some ugly Yale girl stole her notes and hid them in her dorm closets. That girl got expelled because they found over 40 peoples notes/assignments when they all went missing.</p>
<p>But my cousin hated how basically everyone was just in it to be higher up on the ranks than anyone else.</p>
<p>Really? I’ve heard those cutthroat rumors of JHU, Cornell, and Uchicago but not of Yale.</p>
<p>
lol thats kinda dumb.</p>

<p>Oh it figures Old Bruno would be up to his tricks again. </p>
<p>What does it matter, they are all great schools anyway. I go to Princeton, but frankly I would be just as satisfied at Brown, in fact, there are things about Brown that I wish were true at Princeton, and vice-versa. </p>
<p>I declare this a non-issue.</p>

TEN POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR!</p>
<p>Now thats the spirit! Hooray for good old Harvard-bashing!</p>
<p>IT definitely comes down to what field you are in…Cornell’s Hotel School and Engineering programs are so far above the other Ivy’s it isnt funny. But as noted above, all are a class of there own</p>
<p>But it turns out more than 50% of cornell engineers don’t even become engineers after graduation. So its not that simple.</p>
<p>slipper-
You are incorrect about Cornell engineers.</p>
<p>According to the 2005 Cornell electrical engineering survey of graduates almost 80% were either employed in engineering or in engineering graduate school. I know for a fact that some of the other 20% are using their engineering knowledge but in a different field, like medicine, patent law, statistical modeling for investments, and so on. I imagine it would be about the same in other engineering fields.</p>
<p>Cornell has an overall reputation that places it in the bottom half of Ivies but Cornell is actually the top Ivy in terms of the number of top individual majors and programs. In Cornell’s case, the whole is LESS than the sum of its parts (because the reputations of individul majors exceed its overall reputation). Cornell is arguably the “best” Ivy based on the strengths of individual majors, such as engineering. That is, Cornell has more majors that are ranked among the top half of the Ivy League than any other Ivy. (I checked this out some time ago…I hope I recall it correctly).</p>
<p>collegehelp-so which ivy is the worst?</p>
<p>you guys still fighting it out? I think the OP already went to college and graduated already.</p>
<p>i think some people in CC are so knowledgeable that they should have their own private college counseling company.</p>
<p>They’re all such great schools…I don’t understand why we need to single one out and call it the “bad” ivy.</p>
<p>It’s like saying what is the worst model of BMW? They’re all good and different people would seek out different ones for different reasons.</p>
<p>The worst ivy is poison ivy. haha</p>
<p>Well, I don’t think the word “worst” and “Ivy” belong in the same sentence.</p>
<p>Judging from what the general public seems to think…their gut feeling? maybe Cornell, Brown, or U Penn (because it sounds like a public)</p>
<p>Among people who know a lot about colleges…I think it all depends on how you measure them. Deciding which is “worst” (an oxymoron) is as difficult as deciding which is best.</p>
<p>well which one can be replaced by another school like stanford, MIT, Caltech?</p>
<p>none, there’s another thread called “if the ivy league added 2 schools, what would they be” and it goes into countless pages of a discussion like this.</p>
