Easiest Ivy To Get Into????

College Search & Selection
1

<p>OK Ok..before i get yelled at, let me just say for the record...
the ivy's are the hardest schools to get into, they are great...blah blah blah...</p>

<p>there, i said it. now this is a random question, but which ivy league is perhaps, hypothetically speaking, the easiest to get into? and dont say all of them, just pretend you had a gun to your head and pick one. you can rank them if you want.</p>

<p>and which is the most fun in terms of social life and stuff to do around the city (probably columbia)?</p>

2

<p>cornell. straight up.</p>

<p>penn prolly has the biggest party scene</p>

3

<p>cornell, except for engineering</p>

4

<p>I think Columbia is the easiest to get into (overall). The undergrad is tough, but in general if you want a masters or professional degree, it's the easiest of all ivies, from what I hear. It's kinda reversed...they make the higher degrees much easier to get any other Ivy.</p>

5

<p>yeah Golub_u good luck getting in Columbia Law, journalism, medical school, or MBA program. Easy to get into my Aunt Fannie.</p>

6

<p>definately Cornell for undergrad</p>

7

<p>what about engineering-wise?? which school has perhaps the weekest(=easiest) engineering program to get in??</p>

<p>also. which IVY(or ivies) cares (alot) about extra-curricular activity and community services and stuffs??? (and which dont?)</p>

<p>PS : I really didnt think or know cornell(in general) is the easiest to get in.. Dartmouth and UPenn was in my mind for some reason. i dunno -_-</p>

8

<p>for easiest to get into, this is how i would rank them from easiest to hardest:</p>

<p>Cornell
Brown
Dartmouth
Columbia
Upenn
Princeton
Yale
Harvard</p>

9

<p>I'd have to agree on Cornell. I know someone with a 1050 SAT I who's applying there. It's supposed to be easy, but I don't think that easy (or maybe I'm wrong).</p>

10

<p>You sure, Neelesh?</p>

<p>I think it might be more of:</p>

<p>Cornell
Brown-Dartmouth
UPenn
Columbia
Princeton
Yale-Harvard</p>

<p>I don't think Yale is easier to get into than Harvard.</p>

11

<p>"I think Columbia is the easiest to get into (overall)."</p>

<ul>
<li>No way Hosay... Otherwise why would the whole Columbia board be in a frenzy.. all nervous about what's going to happen to them.. including me.. if it was so simple and easy..</li>
</ul>

<p>Any Ivy is hard to get into..
But yeh I'd have to say.. Cornell seems to be the "easiest" if you can even call it easy to get into..</p>

<p>Generally speaking though..they are ALL dammmnnnn hard to get into....</p>

12

<p>Cornell is def. the easiest.</p>

<p>But I think Dartmouth has the biggest party scene. Or at least the highest percentage of binge drinkers.</p>

13

<p>Cornell is not easy to get into. People who say it is are full of it.</p>

<p>At Cornell, it depends on the school and major somewhat, but it is still hard to get into.</p>

<p>I say apply to where you want to go most. I went to Cornell because it is BY FAR the best of the Ivies for life science.</p>

14

<p>I don't think people are implying Cornell is <em>easy</em> to get into, just that it's probably the easiest of the Ivies (if you are going by acceptance rates, and sheer size.)</p>

15

<p>Are we talking overall or just ugrad? For ugrad, Cornell is relatively easier, just going by accept rates. Overall though, it's definitely Columbia, since it's a huge school at the grad level...they have all kinds of programs, including internet degree programs. I think the stats are posted on their website. Many programs have 70% acceptance rates, so if you take the average, then Columbia is definitely the easiest.</p>

<p>Most students at my school don't even bother with Columbia undegrad...they save up to get a grad degree, which is much easier to get.</p>

16

<p>acceptance rates mean little (note, not nothing, to me at least) they are just a ratio of school size to admission demand</p>

<p>Using the USNews, looking at the %in top of their class, and SAT ranges (and % a little)...</p>

<p>Seems to me</p>

<p>Yale
Harvard
Princeton
UPenn
Dartmouth
Colombia
Brown
Cornell</p>

17

<p>My list:</p>

<p>Cormell
Penn
Brown
Darmouth
Columbia
Princeton
Harvard
Yale</p>

18

<p>Columbia has an awesome core curriculum though and arguably the best location of all the Ivies.</p>

19

<p>OMG so right.. not arguably.. Columbia DOES have the best location.. :)
And IMO.. it IS the best :) tee hee</p>

<p>I've heard Cornell is the easiest to get into but the hardest to stay in...</p>
