Ivy League Ranking

<p>Light Airen,
did Cornell reject you recently?</p>

<p>it is safe to assume not one person in the world has had first hand experience taking classes, teaching and doing research at all eight of these schools. So there must be some external criteria to rank them.</p>

<p>USNews does this for undergraduate.</p>

<ol>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>Penn</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Princeton
6.Columbia</li>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>Dartmouth</li>
</ol>

<p>Cornell is the obnly that will probably accpet me :P</p>

<p>jijijiji ;)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Okay, this cracked me up</p>

<p>@cmburns14</p>

<p>No sir. I have not and probably never will apply to Cornell.</p>

<p>Quote from GreedIsGood:</p>

<p>For Prestige:</p>

<p>Harvard
Yale
Princeton (first three aren’t debatable)
Columbia
Brown … are you serious, above Penn?
Cornell … you’re joking, right? Cornell is dead last for prestige
UPenn … should be above Brown
Dartmouth … should be above Cornell</p>

<p>Income:</p>

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

<p>umm take a look at this:
<a href=“http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-Salaries_for_Colleges_by_Type-sort.html[/url]”>http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-Salaries_for_Colleges_by_Type-sort.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Top mid-career salaries:

  1. Dartmouth College
  2. Princeton University
  3. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
  4. Yale University
  5. Harvard University **</p>

<p>You managed to rank the top three income generating ivies as the lowest three in the exactly wrong order. Good work.</p>

<p>^Two things:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>If you think that dated WSJ article based on self-selective reporting of unreliable data has any statistical meaning, you are too trusting in media.</p></li>
<li><p>If you think highest “income-generation” is the goal of higher education, you don’t yet appreciate the goal, or value, of higher education.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>

You’re absolutely right; the WSJ article has nothing on GreedIsGood’s impeccable ranking system based on his flawless discretion.</p>

<p>

Yep, you really put randombetch’s foot in his/her own mouth for ever saying/implying that. Keep on owning.</p>

<p>^What he said.</p>

<p>You’re right pbr - I should just drop out of Princeton now. What was I thinking matriculating here? Even though I plan on using my education to do medical research and being involved with health economics and policy? Obviously I should have given my spot to someone more deserving: a liberal arts nut who’ll devote their lives studying the meaning of Gregorian chants and their implications on Western Christianity while making $40k a year at some liberal arts college. I’ll submit my official student termination forms tomorrow. Because I clearly don’t understand the meaning of higher education if I point out flaws in someone else’s bogus income rankings.</p>

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

<p>i would say</p>

<ol>
<li>harvard</li>
<li>princeton</li>
<li>yale</li>
<li>columbia</li>
<li>brown</li>
<li>dartmouth</li>
<li>penn</li>
<li>cornell</li>
</ol>

<p>at least everyone agrees cornell is last lol</p>

<p>quiman, these are a little off from the actual ones released by US News aren’t they?</p>

<p>

</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Same as via only I switched Yale and Pton.

  1. harvard
  2. yale
  3. pton
  4. columbia
  5. brown
  6. dartmouth
  7. penn
  8. cornell</p>

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

<p>What a ridiculous thread.</p>

<p>This thread is ■■■■■■■■.</p>

<p>IMO, Cornell CAS is as good as Penn CAS, if not better. Cornell ENG is better than Columbia ENG and Yale or Princeton ENG or Penn ENG. Certainly Cornell CALS and Hotel schools are oddities and you can’t compare them with others. So, I am not sure what your ‘subjective opinion’ and your “cornell doesn’t measure up” statement are based upon. I would take Cornell CAS or ENG graduates over the corresponding schools of Brown, Dartmouth, or even Penn. You are Tuft '13, and frankly your school does not measure up to Cornell or any Ivy league schools.</p>

<p>my perception</p>

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

<p>Subjectively:</p>

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

<p>Subjectively:</p>

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