<p>OP, your inferiority complex is showing. And it's a joke to say that Dartmouth is weaker than Cornell. Dartmouth's undergraduate program in the liberal arts is right up there with HYP.</p>
<p>honestly. who cares? go to the school you like. the one that is best for you. there is no point in arguing over which ivy is better. everyone is always going to bring their biases, ideas, and preferences to a debate.</p>
<p>I'm in IB school and current holding GPA of 3.71 with Economics, Biology and Chemistry Higher level. Do i stand a chance in Cornell?</p>
<p>For someone looking to get a job or go to grad school Dartmouth is right after HYP.</p>
<p>Sorry, I've been reading these posts and deciding whether to jump in with my two cents. These posts about which is best Ivy, which is worst Ivy are in my opinion a real waste of time. As an alum and someone who has been out of school for quite a while, I would encourage all of you to get some perspective on this whole college thing. </p>
<p>College is, simply put, exactly what you make of it. No one school is "best" for everyone. My daughter is at Yale and it has been a great place for her. My son will attend Cornell next year and I'm confident that Cornell will be a better place for him than Yale would have been. For some students, a UC will be the best place for them, or any one of hundreds of other colleges or universities.</p>
<p>I know people who are more successful than many Ivy League grads who went to their state universities. Believe me, the name of the school you went to will mean less and less once you graduate. If you find a school that offers the program you want to study and you do well, you will do well in life. Fifteen years, even five years, after you graduate, no one is going to care where you went to school. They are going to look at how well you have done in life and whether you have taken advantage of the opportunities presented to you.</p>
<p>I know the whole college thing seems so very critical right now and I understand it, but I would encourage all of you to take a deep breath and just try to find the place that is best for you and not worry about the name or rank of the school.</p>
<p>"OP, your inferiority complex is showing."</p>
<p>I beg to differ. I am just simply tired of the same rhetoric. Cornell this,Cornell that. I just want to make the point that I do not care whether Cornell is the best or worst ivy. What attracted me to Cornell was that it followed the crux of its mission "any person, any study" </p>
<p>I do not care that people criticize Cornell, its only normal, but to paint the school as inferior and speaking of its students as undeserving, is just too much. Cornell is an AMAZING school!</p>
<p>if someone would have told me 2 years ago that i might get to go to any one of the top 15 schools listed on usnews report i would have said.........yea, i wish. really, stick me in any one of them and i'll manage, not to mention a bunch of schools listed below them. we should be so grateful and feel so privileged just to have this crazy debate. all these schools are unbelievable and i don't think any of us are going to look back with regret.</p>
<p>"For someone looking to get a job or go to grad school Dartmouth is right after HYP."</p>
<p>what else is there to do after college??</p>
<p>. ^lol :D</p>
<p>I'm personally looking to live, unemployed, in my parents' basement after college.</p>
<p>Which Ivy ranks highest in that?</p>
<p>Even before I knew Cornell was an Ivy I wanted to go there because of it's amazing versatility! Go Cornell!</p>
<p>i LOVE Cornell!
WHooooooot props to the starter of this thread! (:</p>
<p>Yeah, this subject of which school is the worst ivy has been going on way too long. Let's just say positive stuff about Cornell University :)</p>
<p>What do Cornell students and the rest of the students in the Ivy League have in common?</p>
<p>They all got into Cornell.</p>

<p>haha, funny. very funny. now, let's see if u get in to cornell and every other 7 ivies. I mean this, unless you got into every single ivies as well as cornell, you probably would need to zip those arrogant fat lips esp. at Cornell forum. As a note, my friend last yr got into dartmouth, but got rejected from cornell and penn. I got into dartmouth, cornell, but rejected from other ivies. Tons of these scenarios around the world. Hope that you have a brain to understand that college admissions isn't so obvious at cornell's level.</p>
<p>haha I am a freshman at Yale. but okay kid, let's see if I get into Cornell.</p>
<p>I thought we went over this a million times. Cornell's placement in the WSJ rankings is deceptive. Several undergraduate schools (architecture, engineering, and hotel admin) are analogous to professional schools since they educate students in a specific career path. That is, a lot of the engineers and hotelies usually don't need to get an additional degree to become successful. I really don't see how Dartmouth better prepares you for graduate or professional school, if that is what you're interested in.</p>
<p>i could care less where u go to school. since u go to yale, get the f### out of here and tighten your fat lips, really. i thought you Yale kids were smart enough to understand not to write this kind of dumb rhetoric at this school's forum.</p>
<p>I have heard from several very reliable sources that Cornell University has the worst agriculture school and the worst hotel school of all of the Ivies. Although, other highly reliable sources read the same survey and proclaimed that Cornell had the best ag school & the best hotel school of all of the Ivy League schools.</p>
<p>"haha I am a freshman at Yale. but okay kid, let's see if I get into Cornell."</p>
<p>Talk about not having a life. I have a feeling your just jealous that you didn't come to the worst of the ivys. Are the kids at Yale treating you nicely? ..lol</p>
