<p>^^^</p>
<p>Thats nonsense.</p>
<p>One cannot really rank them individually; it makes more sense to group them as follows:</p>
<p>High Ivies: HPY
Middle Ivies: Columbia, Penn, Dartmouth
Low Ivies: Cornell, Brown</p>
<p>lol... u look like you are tied up with rankings...</p>
<p>high ivies, middle ivies, low ivies??!?!</p>
<p>Ivies are Ivies.......why do you group them as high middle and low??</p>
<p>Here’s my scheme based on last syllables</p>
<ol>
<li> yALE – I love beer</li>
<li> princeTON – a ton is big therefore deserves a high ranking</li>
<li> corNELL – its an old girlfriend’s name - she’s cool</li>
<li> columbiA – mono syllabic but still the 1st letter</li>
<li> PENN – single syllable but a useful writing instrument</li>
<li> BROWN – monotonous and drab color</li>
<li> dartMOUTH – somehow reminds me of big MOUTH</li>
<li> harVARD – what the hell is a VARD? Besides they have a fishy hockey team…</li>
</ol>
<p>Warblers list based on elevation is still the most accurate :)</p>
<p>the word "princeton" just rolls off the tongue.</p>
<p>pk12313, you are infatuated....;-)</p>
<p>lol :) i know</p>
<p>but it really is the coolest name out of the ivies, right?</p>
<p>yea i second on that....! :) <em>PRINCETON</em> sounds so good</p>
<p>yeah way better than "College of New Jersey" LOL</p>
<p>ELizabeth University might have been nice though...</p>
<p>yeah princeton definitely has the best name i must say</p>
<p>i really can't imagine why UPENN wanted to keep its name as "University of Pennsylvania"</p>
<p>personally, it sounds too "state-schoolish" (if dats a word)</p>
<p>like what if P'ton was named "University of New Jersey"?? yuck. :p</p>
<p>If you go by tiers:</p>
<p>Harvard, Yale, Princeton
Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth
Penn, Cornell</p>
<ol>
<li>Ezra and Andy's Excellent Adventure</li>
<li>Wheelock's Wonder</li>
<li>Collegiate School</li>
<li>King's College</li>
<li>Radcliffe's Randy Brother</li>
<li>Pembroke's Big Bro</li>
<li>College of New Jersey</li>
<li>College of Philadelphia</li>
</ol>
<p>here's my well thought out list based on the first-half (or relatively close) of the names:</p>
<ol>
<li>YAle - reminds me of the movie "cool runnings." Easily first.<br></li>
<li>BROwn - short for "brother" or reference to a male bra?</li>
<li>CORNell - eh, yellow vegetable that will re-apear again later if you swallow it whole</li>
<li>COLUMbia - gothic? Dorian? Greek? Which column best describes you?</li>
<li>DARTmouth - backup game usually reserved for single men who lost the girl hunting game at the bar</li>
<li>PRINCeton - sounds too close to 'prick' </li>
<li>HARvard - when sounded out loud, very reminiscent of a sea walrus' grunt</li>
<li>PEnn - add another "e" and you have the essence of what the area around the university smells like</li>
</ol>
<p>I like the elevation rankings. Very true.</p>
<ol>
<li>princeton</li>
<li>harvard</li>
<li>yale</li>
<li>columbia</li>
<li>u penn</li>
<li>brown</li>
<li>cornell</li>
<li>dartmouth</li>
</ol>
<p>If I were to get into every school:</p>
<ol>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Dartmouth</li>
<li>Brown</li>
</ol>
<p>and a very distant 6, 7, and 8...</p>
<ol>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Penn</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
</ol>
<p>Why doesn't anyone like Dartmouth!? If it weren't for family politics (i.e. they would kill me if I were accepted to but turned down Harvard), Dartmouth would be in the top three!</p>
<p>I think its interesting to see people who like Princeton put Dartmouth last. Dartmouth is by far the most similar school to Princeton among the Ivies.</p>
<p>I agree with slipper...actually, Pton and Dartmouth were the only 2 Ivys on my list (Dartmouth got bumped for various reasons). I think Yale is the second most similar to Pton, but I never considered it because I basically live 10 minutes from Yale and would like to go to school a little farther away than that!</p>
