<p>Even if it was the "easiest to get into" it is one of if not the most rigorous once you do get in. Perhaps this thought stems from the fact that it is was founded the earliest. However, it is not the youngest member of the ivy league (originally is was just seven and then brown, gtown, and some patriot league schools where considered). Moreover, it provides the best engineering education in the ivy league (thats almost universally accepted). The best architecture program in the nation (this might have changed with the newest ranking, but still best in ancient 8). The hotel administration school is the best in the country and the one of only ones of its kind. The IRL school is rather unique and offers degrees that can't be found other places/schools in the ivy league. The business program was ranked fourth in the country (thats businessweek). The agricultural school is one of the best (has a crapload of acres too). I starting to run out of undergraduate colleges (almost every one excels at what it does). At the very least cornell still isn't the lowest ranked ivy in the actual overall newsweek rankings and is actually the top ivy league school in the washington posts rankings (they have a different methodology, but still). Don't let archaic thoughts of prestige and glamour take precedence over the actual substance offered at a school that might even mean choosing a great state school over the colleges were talking about now (although those choices seem to be more related to cost or distance rather than opportunity and learning.)</p>
<p>Btw, I'm expecting a typical "you don't have any sources, you don't have any evidence, you don't have any figures... response. Funny thing is, most of the time these responses don't seem to include any of those sources and such themselves. If you think I'm wrong show me the rankings... maybe we saw them in different magazines have ... I'm going by past rankings I saw (don't have time to go back and get every source) and from what I've heard while visiting some of these schools.</p>
