<p>Just wondering. :)</p>
<p>I know it’s a generic choice, but I would definitely choose Yale. I’ve only seen two Ivies in person: Yale and UPenn. UPenn has a beautiful campus, but Yale had an atmosphere that was more appealing. I went to both for model congress, so I got to know a bunch of students and their personalities. <a href=“If%20you%20don’t%20know%20anything%20about%20model%20congress,%20it’s%20basically%20just%20a%20student%20assimilation%20of%20the%20House%20of%20Representatives%20and%20the%20Senate.%20There%20are%20other%20programs%20that%20involve%20the%20other%20branches%20of%20the%20government,%20as%20well.%20Students%20are%20used%20to%20be%20chairs%20of%20committees%20and%20such.”>i</a>*</p>
<p>At Yale, people seemed a lot more comfortable with themselves. They knew how to be serious and respectful when needed, but they weren’t afraid to be themselves and have a personality. </p>
<p>At UPenn, the students seemed like they were told they had to be a certain way and followed that guideline blindly without integrating a bit of their own personality into what they were doing. A lot of the students seemed apathetic toward things that they were doing.
(I’m not saying all Yale students and all Penn students follow the same pattern I mentioned above. I’ve seen exceptions to both. This is just the impression I got from the schools.)</p>
<p>As for the other schools… Well, I don’t know anyone from them, and I don’t know much about them. Surprisingly, Harvard never really appealed to me, and Columbia only appealed to me because it’s very close to where I live. I did look into Cornell for a while. It’s the only Ivy I ever actually considered applying to. I’m not sure why I stopped looking into it. I guess it was because it is extremely expensive & I’m definitely not smart enough to get into a school like that. I’m smart, but not * smart * smart. Princeton is in my state, but it’s at the opposite end of New Jersey, & I never really had a reason to spark my interest in the school.</p>
<p>Overall, Yale seems like the best fit for my majors that I am interested in pursuing. I plan on having a double major, one being English with a teacher certification (ways to achieve this differ with every school, so I can’t really give an exact major title) and theatre. Yale has one of the best drama programs in the country, which gives me more reason to love it.</p>
<p>This is getting very long. I’ll just shut up now. As much as I would love to, I wouldn’t expect to get in to any of these schools, especially with my test scores!</p>
<p>I thought this was an interesting question… I’m surprised that I’m the only answer!</p>
<p>Harvard.</p>
<p>There’s something about Harvard that I find rather difficult to pass up if given the opportunity to attend… Perhaps its the way the paths are paved… Perhaps its the connections that you will probably make that will be out of this world.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s the thought of having an email address that ends in harvard.edu.</p>
<p>Maybe its Harvard?</p>
<p>Cornell University because of it’s motto “Any person, any study”. I love how the students love learning, and they ENJOY studying till 5 am for finals. Like they say it’s the “easiest” Ivy to get into, but the hardest to stay in because it’s so hard.</p>
<p>That is a good question. Either Harvard for obvious reasons or Columbia because it has the best location.</p>
<p>YALE! 
yaleyaleyaleyaleyaleyaleyaleyale</p>
<p>Dartmouth College</p>
<p>Yale.</p>
<p>Why? Because it’s perfect<3</p>
<p>Brown. It was number 2 on my college list and I would’ve definitely applied with full intention of going if accepted had it not been for number 1.</p>
<p>I visited every Ivy (except Cornell) but the best potential-student to staff relationships I had were at Brown. Just dropped by unannounced and had an in depth conversation with a professor about his subjects and after he invited me to attend classes. Every student I met/knew there was really happy and enjoyed the open curriculum. Everyone was friendly, it didn’t have that “pretentious” feeling that I got at a lot of Ivies. </p>
<p>Out of all the Ivies, Brown was by far the most appealing after a visit.</p>
<p>^I’d agree with Lagging — Brown seemed the most down to earth of the Ivies to me, and that’s important to me. They seem the best for undergrad (Dartmouth is good, but the greek life seems too much for me), and that sets them apart to me. Also, their connection with RISD seems really appealing as someone who’s fascinated by design.</p>
<p>Probably Brown. I would want a school with an undergraduate focus, a school that would allow me to widely explore my interests, a school that has a nice location but still a vibrant on-campus life, and a school that’s known for good teachers, with a collegial, almost LAC type atmosphere. Brown is more focused on undergraduate education than the other Ivies except Princeton and maybe Dartmouth, and Princeton is in a sort of not-as-fun location and I’ve also heard that the Brown students are more down to earth than the others. Dartmouth’s Greek life/party reputation turns me off. Brown’s open curriculum is very appealing as well, since I have a lot of interests and the open curriculum would give me the opportunity to explore them. And Providence sounds like a funky little city - big enough to have fun in, but not big enough to swallow the residential life of the campus.</p>
<p>Possibly Yale, but honestly if I was an Ivy-league caliber student I would prefer Northwestern over any of them.</p>
<p>hmmmm I always told people that my favorite ivies were Yale, Brown and Columbia but if I had to choose I’d say Yale. Surprisingly enough I’m not even applying to Yale because I know I won’t get in hahahah.</p>
<p>Being that I live in NJ I have seen princeton plenty of times and would probably go either there or Harvard or Brown. Those three are definitely the ones that appeal to me the most. </p>
<p>Princeton is perfect is you like a small town that really makes the learning experience a much more personal one. ( also is located in a very nice part of nj)</p>
<p>Never seen or been to providence, but brown seems like a cool school that offers a unique experience.</p>
<p>And harvard is harvard haha also i dont mind boston.</p>
<p>Thanks for answering!</p>
<p>If I were a Harvard caliber resume, i’ld probably do Columbia, Yalr, or Harvard as iveys…but ild much rather go to MIT over any of them.</p>
<p>Sent from my SGH-T959V using CC</p>
<p>I admit, if I had acceptance letters from all of them, I wouldn’t have the courage to turn down Harvard’s, for many reasons including the curiosity of how it’s like studying in the world’s best university.</p>
<p>Either Brown (chill, down-to-earth people, open curriculum) or Dartmouth (green, outdoorsy, and intimate social environment)</p>
<p>Quite honestly, I wouldn’t be afraid to give up Harvard.</p>
<p>Definitely Dartmouth! I love it. There’s just one thing that stops me from ED: I fear that even if <em>miracle</em> Igot in, it wouldn’t give me enough aid.</p>
<p>After Dartmouth I’d chose either Yale or Brown - they do seem to have a great atmosphere.</p>
