<p>lol, i like the nice harvard last on the best undergrad.</p>

4

<p>it is. brown and dartmouth i don't know enough about to say without a doubt that it's worse than those two, but it's certainly inferior to the other 5</p>

5

<p>As long as i get into one, i'm not too worried</p>

<p>1)Most educational (Undergrad Average)</p>

<p>2)Most educational (Grad Average)</p>

<p>Harvard

<p>3)Best social life/people...opinions</p>

<p>I don't think any of us can truly judge this one, but from what I've heard:</p>

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

<p>4)Students most likely to succeed</p>

<p>Everywhere...it's the freaking Ivy League. Though the students at Harvard and Yale will be the next great thinkers and leaders of the world.</p>

<p>26e, there is no way that Harvard is worse than Brown...at Brown, they pretty much say: "take whatever courses you want, take some pass/fail, and at the end, we'll give you a degree."</p>

7

<p>too lazy to do everything. heres my master list.</p>

<p>yale
upenn
columbia
dartmouth
brown
cornell
harvard
princeton</p>

<p>haha i hate HP.</p>

8

<p>Harvard, Princeton, Yale
Penn, Columbia
Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell</p>

<p>Little difference between the tiers, in terms of how "good" the school is.</p>

<p>I've heard that Penn is the best for social, followed by Columbia (NYC, and all) and Harvard the worst (they have a fun czar after all), but I don't think there is much difference between the rest.</p>

9

<p>from the columbia board i hear columbia can be draining socially. </p>

<p>and yes, i feel harvard is worse than brown, b/c at brown you can learn, because you don't always focus on grades, and you can choose to focus on whatever interests you and what will prepare you best in your field. harvard is the complete opposite of what you said. they say "take courses A B C D E F...........AAA AAB AAC and AAD, and at the end if you had any room left to take courses for your major and you were actually able to get hold of a professor or advisor to review your programme we'll give you a degree."</p>

10

<p>Having visited all of them (and attended two), Dartmouth has about a zillion times more social life than Columbia. Columbia is the least social ivy by a significant margin followed by Harvard. The ability to run into the maze that is NYC actually drains Columbia's on campus social life. </p>

<p>My rankings:</p>

<p>1)Most educational (Undergrad Average)
2)Most educational (Grad Average)

<p>It seems everybody forgets what the Ivy League really is. Using Fall of 2005 data, that is the list. However, others might disagree with the criteria used, but all official rankings can be found [url=<a href="http://www.ivyleaguesports.com/standings.asp%5Dhere%5B/url"&gt;http://www.ivyleaguesports.com/standings.asp]here[/url&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p>

<p>I realize I didn't answer your question, but these are the only subjective rankings, even USNWR can't be truated 100%.</p>

12

<p>Clearly Harvard is the worst school in the Ivy League because it's ranked dead last in volleyball standings at 0-14 against other Ivies and 3-21 overall.</p>

13

<p>id go with the USNews ranking.</p>

<p>Gold Duck: Regardless of why the Ivy League started, it has become the most prestigious academic league in the country. Its much more than a sporting affiliation.</p>

<p>1) Harvard
1) Princeton
3) Yale
4) Penn
5) Columbia
5) Dartmouth
7) Cornell
8) Brown</p>

<p>This thread only proves that nobody knows. Every school offers a different experience for every applicant.</p>

<p>What matters then is how people perceive the rankings (popularly)</p>

<p>USNews has the popular one down pat:</p>

<p>1) Harvard
1) Princeton
3) Yale
4) Penn
5) Columbia
5) Dartmouth
7) Cornell
8) Brown</p>

<p>Most people think similarly of Grad and undergrad in my opinion (general population-wise)...</p>

<p>Social:</p>

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

<p>at least you're keeping Harvard last...</p>

20

<p>they're all "diverse and fun" yet there are stark differences between all of them and i think if you visit them and spend time in at least one of them, you will realize this.</p>
