<p>With its open curriculum and its reputation for having the happiest students, Brown offers a distinctive difference. I think it’s the best possible choice for non-conformist or self-directed learners. Their S/NC system (i.e., pass/fail) option is also great, on a limited basis, for the student who tends to regularly overload his academic plate because everything just tastes so-o-oo good.</p>

<li>Princeton, because they accepted my best friend</li>
<li>Harvard and Yale, because they didn’t accept my best friend</li>
<li>The rest of them, because my best friend didn’t even want to apply to them</li>

<p>But I know that’s not a real world ranking lol</p>

<p>I would rank the Ivies pretty highly. Some of them offer a classroom experience that is nearly as good as what you’d find at the best LACs.</p>

<p>Penn is the fastest rising ivy league due to its past two presidents. 30 years ago, it wasn’t respected as an ivy at all. The school has taken a turn since then and has made great investments and has continued to improve its image. Its endowment is behind harvard yale princeton. The princeton vs penn rivalry is growing every year so eventually it could be like the rivalry between harvard and yale. In 50 years, you could see penn easily ranking as one of the top ivy leagues.</p>

<p>Although Cornell and Brown should not even be in the Ivy League, here’s my rankings:</p>

<ol>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>UPenn</li>
<li>Dartmouth</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>Brown</li>

<p>I thought you said Ivy League was just a sports conference? Do Brown and Cornell have terrible teams? </p>
