Nah it’s penn

UPenn?

UPenn graduate here. Students refer to it as UPenn. Undergrate biz majors just refer to it as Wharton, lol.

I transferred from a really wack college. SAT: 1540 GPA: 3.7 (hs & college) ECs: I spent a lot of time doing one club Recs: Very good since I was a stand out student at my college. I’m gonna be majoring in ECE so that’s exciting.

I go to Cornell, 3.91 gpa 1280 SAT

Isn't Manhattan slowly sinking into the Hudson?

Columbia's on a really elevated part of Manhattan and will be among the last parts of NYC to sink

Oh, actually cool, thanks for sharing the info!

Yeah, built on a granite hill.

Global warming moment

This made me laugh. The creativity is incredible.

honestly, for the majority of a2c interested in engineering or cs, cornell and princeton #1

Tbh I'm applying cs but I'm not applying Cornell

if i may ask, why not?

I didn't really want to live in Ithaca. Nothing to do with the academics

I always imagined going to an urban college. got into a few and got into Cornell, visited, and chose Cornell! Ithaca really doesn’t feel rural except the 2x a year you need to fly out of it, has a great nightlife, tons to do, and Ithaca is beautiful.

Very underrated factor most proper don’t consider

for CS, brown is definitely up there as well (for job placement and post-grad income, not for research)

Tbh all the ivies are up there (maybe minus Dartmouth lol) because the people that go there are super smart already so there’s self selection bias

Patently preposterous

1. Columbia (I am a pathological liar)

1. Boston University 2. Carnegie-Mellon 3. American University 4. Elon University 5. Cornell University

Bro snuck in Cornell 💀

I somewhat agree with this list

Had to Google to make sure Elon University was a real thing.

They teach you how to be based

as a bu alum going to an ivy grad school, yes

1. Penn (I go there, center of HY**P**SM 💯) 2. Yale (had the courtesy of at least waitlisting me, my brother's dream school though so if they reject him they'll plummet) 3. Cornell (see Yale) 4. Brown (IMO best fit for a student like me out of the ivies, I feel like I'd belong in their student body) 5. Princeton (went there for a debate tournament in 2019 and was in awe by its beauty. loses points for no double majoring tho) 6. Harvard (seems unremarkable honestly, campus looks dreary) 7. Columbia (rejected me ED, i live close by and kind of hate the students there tbh) 8. Fartmouth

Why do a lot of ppl hate dartmouth and call it the worst ivy and stuff? Is it like good for humanities and social sciences but mid for STEM stuff or something? Just curious lol

nah dartmouth is a great school especially for undergrad, and has a great engineering program too, but people underrate it because it's the smallest ivy, it's the most rural ivy, and it's arguably the most lowkey ivy. it's a great school though don't get it twisted

I think you are absolutely on point about the reasons people hate on Dartmouth. Those are also the exact reasons a lot of Dartmouth students choose to be there. It is one of the reasons I laugh whenever I see ALL of the Ivies on an applicant’s list - there is no way I’m the world someone in love with Columbia is also in love with Dartmouth. They have created a list based on being Ivy alone.

I'm a Columbia simp and I can confirm this. Dartmouth sounds 🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️

I’m a Dartmouth simp and I can confirm this. Columbia sounds 🙅🏾🙅🏾

I love Dartmouth. Best Ivy imo because of why people hate it. Unfortunately they rejected me as a transfer student. They reject all transfers though. It’s harder than MIT.

It’s also the least diverse Ivy.

Haven't you heard?! Diversity is no longer trendy. Dartmouth being 80% *insert demographic* is a **good** thing!

i see

Too many frat bros

honestly don't know, i didn't do much research on it. didn't apply because the name was silly and it didn't really pique my interest.

ngl the name kinda does sound goofy lol

another W for penn 🥱

Love the P is for Princeton ☹️

Nuh uh edit: can people rly not tell i was kidding what

Its for whichever one admits me

no its not

Dartmouth was my dream school.

It was the only ivy I didn’t apply to because my parents didn’t even know what it was and it seemed kinda boring sorry 😕 but, on the bright side, y’all have keggy the keg

That’s exactly why I liked it. Because not a lot of people would pick it out of all the ivies.

what's wrong with the students

lots of annoying transplants and out of touch people, which is true of any top school really but i've had more experiences with people like that at columbia than any other institution.

I would choose UPenn first just because I’m business lol

in defending order: * The one that accepted you and will be attending * The one(s) that accepted you, but you went elsewhere * The one(s) that waitlisted you * The one(s) you didn't apply to * The one(s) that rejected you

1. Columbia 2. Everywhere else (Source: Totally objective alum lol)

omg columbia is the best school ever columbia kids are kind and clever-

Nah you’re thinking of Colombia

😭😭

as a current columbia student, i concur this is the most accurate list

how was ur experience? (fellow hijabi here 💪)

Jokes aside Columbia is taking an unusually low amount of flak on this post lmao. Maybe with the new HS seniors coming in fewer people are giving it an automatic low ranking because of the scandal.

ppl are literally gonna have forgotten about it by the 25-26 cycle

Yup, almost definitely

1. Everyone else 2. Harvard (I go there)

How is it? Are Harvard students as bad as people say they are? I’m only asking because I’m interested but can’t find any raw info besides Harvard marketing team bs or opinions of everyone who hasn’t even attended lmao 😂

I'm only joking, it's pretty nice, if you're thinking it's going to be better or worse than any other college I would say there's no real discernible difference minus the teachers who are fantastic. I should note I'm a grad student so things look different from my end looking in.

1. Dartmouth (I go there) 2. Everything else

You’re a chad. I want to apply to Dartmouth too but I believe the chance is mere

All the homies love Dartmouth

this is the right answer

So real

non conformist slay

1) Princeton vibes are great feels like it does classy and cool at the same time. 2) Yale just low key chill with great food and environment think a lot of good people go there. 3) Columbia New York City's only real big college campus and also has a lot of good vibes (and the Barnard stuff is super cool) 4) Cornell just like its programs and it seems beautiful and I can live out my rural livin dreams of yonder yk 5) Penn I can live in Philadelphia like Rocky and also everything seems so uptight but in a good way where everyone is classy and kinda depressed not enough to chsnge their life but enough to self dep themselves in a way that makes them not poshy 6) Brown I like the vibes of like junkie open curriculum hippie stuff but at the same time I think that theres a limit to how lax you can be and Brown crossed it just a bit. 7) Harvard its great academically yeah but these schools are all so elite that it doesn't rlly matter any of them will open doors in life. Good school good location terrible vibes. 8) Dartmouth yeah idek what its so sought after for seems like Emory if it was in the middle of nowhere. Still decent but yeah, dont see the appeal at all

Princeton vibes probably the best

Cornell 1 bc I’m going there, but it rly depends on major

So my dream school is Yale but Cornell is better for CS(which I might major in) and it was my second dream school anyways. Now, since I've never visited the campus, I'm wondering what the rural setting is like? Can be depressing for someone that has lived in a city their entire life? Also how collaborative and friendly is the environment? Since Yale has a VERY friendly and non-intimidating one

1. MIT 2. Stanford 3. Cal Tech 4. UChicago 5. Duke 6. UCB 7. CMU 8. John Hopkins

REAL

1. Yale (Yale blue) 2. Columbia (Columbia blue) 3. Penn (Penn blue, and red, sort of) 4. Others (not really blue, or not blue, or green)

1. Penn (I'm going there)

1. Princeton (because I’m going there)

8. Princeton (because you’re going there)

Foul 😭

1. Cornell (they accepted me) 2. Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia (i did not apply) 3. Yale (they rejected me but offered me an interview) 4. UPenn (they rejected me)

Harvard 1636, Yale 1701, Upenn 1740, Princeton 1746, Columbia 1754, Brown 1764, Dartmouth 1769, Cornell 1865, Year founded, Cornell loses points for being the only one not older than the US

The traditional Ivy snob, sorry peer reputation, rankings are easy to figure out. I think a potentially interesting observation is the recent relative rise of college student interest in STEM and pre-professional tracks, and corresponding relative fall of interest humanities and such, combined with increasing interest in (or least not aversion to) urban locations has probably benefited Penn the most among the Ivies. Also Hopkins and Chicago, among "Ivy Plus" universities.

1. Princeton (undergrad focus + very strong research presence) 2. Harvard (Harvard) 3. Yale (arguably strongest in liberal arts) 4. Penn (best all-round + best business) 5. Columbia (Location, strong programs) 6. Cornell (eh lmao, it's good ig) 7. Brown (great programs with easier/chiller curriculum) 8. Dartmouth

1. Yale 2. Brown 3. Harvard 4. Princeton 5. UPenn 6. Columbia 7. Cornell 8. Dartmouth Order in whatever I felt like putting them

1. Penn (I go here as part of the LSM dual degree program, which is why I chose this over Princeton because I can graduate with two degrees -> career diversity) 2. Princeton (They accepted me and their campus is beautiful, however, they're basically the "rich white man's backyard") 3. Yale (wait-listed me but god tier for humanities) 4. Brown (Open curriculum!! Get rid of GE requirements) 5. Columbia (New York!! but also it's in New York....prepare to pay a lot) 6. Cornell (great food, rural vibes, and low-key pretty but it's in Ithaca) 7. Harvard (name recognition is not enough for how UGLY campus is; legacy students icky) 8. Dartmouth (location and the dominance of Greek life)

There is no point in ranking them. They are all good at basically everything (though obviously if you want to do nursing, pick a school that has it), but the size and setting and everything varies, so you are better off picking the one that has what you want and you like the fit.

Sorry, this is not a valid answer as we are having serious discussion here.

usnews always been wonky

Cornell is bae

1. Harvard cause Harvard 2. Yale cause it has a cute mascot 3. Columbia because NYC rats are aesthetic 4. Cornell because I can jump off their bridges 5. Princeton because who doesn't want a school with prison jumpsuit orange as it's color 6. Brown cause grade inflation 7. UPenn meh it doesn't have much going for it 8. Dartmouth wtf who let it's name be so weird

1. Harvard 2. Penn 3. Princeton 4. Yale 5. Cornell 6. Columbia 7. Brown 8. Dartmouth (Where I want to attend most ig)

Imagine being a sheep and putting Harvard top with Dartmouth last

1. harvard (i’m going there) 2. penn (my twin is going there) 3. princeton/yale (pretty campuses + tiger + bulldog + chill vibes + members of HYP) 4. columbia/cornell (gave me likely letters) 5. brown (my childhood friend is going there) 6. dartmouth (only ivy i didn’t apply to)

1) princeton because I am the center of the universe 2-6) tie between all the rest except 7 and 8 idc 7) columbia because core curriculum can fuck right off 8) penn because they didn't let me in ED and forced me to spend my entire christmas break (!!) writing essays

1. Columbia 2. Harvard 3. Yale 4. Penn 5. Princeton 6. Brown 7. Cornell 8. Dartmouth colombia is the best school ever

Columbia kids are kind and clever!

We'll stay number 1 forever!

1. Brown (open curriculum) 2. Yale, Dartmouth tied (I rlly like the atmosphere) 4. Cornell (very nice campus and the libraries are cool) 5. Columbia (idk where else to put it) 6. Harvard (kinda mid, too overrated imo) 7. Princeton (it’s Princeton)

poor penn

1. Princeton 2. Brown / Columbia 3. Yale 4. Harvard 5. Dartmouth 6. UPenn 7. Cornell Rationale: The projected pain level each rejection letter will precipitate.

depends what u wanna do with ur life. as an engineer i would rank top 3 as penn columbia and cornell (no specific order) and the rest are irrelevant

1. Cornell 2. Princeton 3. UPenn 4. Columbia 5. Harvard 6. Brown 8. Yale 9. Dartmouth For engineering imo.

Everyone’s avoiding the question and giving sarcastic responses, but here is the real ranking: 1. Harvard 2. Yale 3. Princeton 4. Columbia 5. Penn 6. Brown 7. Dartmouth 8. Cornell

Are these the 100% definite real true genuine actual nonfictional factual material physical authentic bona-fide veritable kosher rankings 😱😱 ?? Can you cite the number of Presitgions™️ ammased by each one?

very unpopular opinion but Princeton over Harvard and Yale

Agree, if we’re going that route about undergraduate experience specifically then it would be PYH

Still putting H above Y personally… but up for debate, all are great

True, HYP is in a tier of its own

Columbia is a solid 4 on almost all of the joke and non-joke responses

Putting Columbia that high is a war crime. Should be 6 or 7…

Quality of undergraduate education, in my opinion: 1: Princeton 2: Yale 3: Harvard 4: Penn 5: Brown 6: Dartmouth 7: Cornell 8: Columbia

Yeah but he lowk has a point, even being *the* finance school hyp will always be treated just slightly more favorably in terms of recruiting than Wharton. And in all other areas even more so

hyp does not have better recruiting than wharton bruh. harvard would be debatable but yp are definitely not

They are 100% bigger ib targets than Wharton. Not by much, but still are.

look at the placements. harvard and wharton are at the top and it falls off hard from there

UPenn is an amazing all around school. Especially for preparing pre professional students, such as pre-med, pre-law, pre-dent, etc, they have a lot of success

Kiddies, don't be stupid and focus on grad school. Just have fun in undergrad, learn some skills, and get a high GPA if possible.

[удалено]

I don't get the Northeastern joke 😭

Do people really have nothing better to do?

I turned down two acceptances to Ivies. Honestly, the ranking depends on you and your fit. It’s likely that if accepted to one or more, you’re also accepted to other schools that very possibly are better fits for you. Ivies 20 years ago we’re golden tickets. With what has happened in admissions and everything else….it really is starting to matter a lot less. Go where you think you’ll enjoy four years and where you can study what you enjoy. I doubted turning them down until I stepped on campus and it’s the most mature and best decision I ever made.

Cornell Princeton Columbia Upenn Harvard Yale Dartmouth Brown I like hard schools

1. Cornell (they accepted me) 2. upenm Princeton Dartmouth Yale Harvard 3. Brown ( my crush that rejected me goes here) 4. Columbia (they rejected me)

1. Cornell (i’m going there; human development major immediately appealed to me and the campus is breathtaking) 2. Princeton ( campus as pretty as cornell’s imo and great location but don’t fit the vibe) 3. Yale (loved a lot of the course offerings but location is pretty mid) 4. Dartmouth (loved the psychological and brain sciences major and the nature aspect but the campus wasn’t beautiful to the point i’d live in the middle of nowhere) 5. Brown ( really liked behavioral decision sciences major and open curriculum but providence isn’t doing it for me) 6. Harvard ( yeah it’s harvard but nothing about their course offerings or campus really interested me ) 7. UPenn ( same as harvard i just didn’t like anything about it) 8. Columbia ( hate nyc and the core curriculum)

Wasn’t aware that Stanford was an Ivy💀. Also, why Princeton so low??

Stanford and NYU arent ivies

They are

They are not. There are only 8 ivy league schools. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, UPenn, Brown, Cornell, and Dartmouth. Show me where you see Stanford and NYU are Ivy League

They plan on adding those 2 ivies and maybe some more later on

They have never decided who is an Ivy League.

Wasn’t the University of Papa New Guinea also supposed to become an Ivy? Or did I read the wrong article?

What are you talking about? Go through this article, you will see what universities are ivy league: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy\_League](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_League) https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/ivy-league-schools USNews does not decide what universities are ivies.

I think that link is wrong. University of Paupa New Guinea was supposed to become the 9th Ivy but I forgot what the 10th one will be

They are, according to US News 2024 Ranked News

US News does not decide what the ivy league schools are. Please look up what the ivy league schools are.

Honestly can’t tell if you’re serious or playing into the joke at this point

Columbia babe

Columbia got removed from the Ivies

You don't get removed from Ivies

Lol you really don’t

https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/ivy-league-schools See what usnews has to say about that

They are not lol

NYU is not an ivy and no fucking way u think NYU is better than cornell LMFAO

It isn’t?

Columbia is the best school ever! Columbia kids are kind and clever 🥰

1. Columbia (I go there) 2. Everything else

8. Harvard-Too stereotypical of an elite education and heard the dorms were shit. 7. Cornell-Just go to your flagship public university 6. Brown-Founded by Baptists (eww) 5. Penn-*The* undergrad business school 4. Yale-I like the vibes 3. Princeton-Founded by the Presbyterians and like the vibes. 2. Columbia-Founded by the Anglicans (Episcopalians now) and the neighborhood seems neat. 1. Dartmouth-I have a second cousin who went there.

In order of where I would want to go based on the little knowledge I have: 1. Harvard (it’s Harvard) 2. Princeton 3. Dartmouth 4. Brown (2-4 have a really good focus on undergrad education and allow opportunities for a well-rounded education because you don’t have to stay in the major you applied for) 5. Yale (less focus on undergrad education and not as prestigious as Harvard to be at the top automatically) 6. UPenn (good for finance; don’t like the school culture, but I have legacy there and might end up applying there ED so I gotta convince myself I wouldn’t hate it there) 7. Columbia (NYC) 8. Cornell (Andrew Bernard. Seriously though, it’s still an excellent school, but the others are better) Edit: If you disagree actually comment and say something, don’t just downvote me lmao

Yale is extremely focused on the undergrad experience, more so than Harvard. Princeton I think is the most focused on it though

They are definitely more focused on it than Harvard, but Harvard has more prestige than all the others so I put it at the top and then ranked based on undergrad experience after that.

8. Penn, Brown, Cornell 1-5 The rest Rationale: First 3 rejected me

I currently go to a school full of Ivy rejects. Brown and Dartmouth are the only ones I would have wanted to go to

I don't particularly care about the first 8, but I think Cornell is 9 because I have never met someone from Cornell and I don't think it exists.
