<p>Perhaps a better word would be conceited or pompous. Anyway, I'm getting the vibe that Penn and Cornell are best in this regard. I'm a moderately older student, come from a community college, and while independant, I am not ultra liberal, so it's fairly important to me. Do you think this is a fair generalization?</p>
<p>For Wharton, HELL ****ING NO.</p>
<p>For Cornell, maybe. Probably less so then HYPS. I’m not sure about Dartmouth though.</p>
<p>I see. I’d be going to the school of arts and sciences.</p>
<p>Brown, by far. And don’t think that Penn kids aren’t stuck up - they can be. When your school is ranked in the top 5 (or top 10, depending on the year), there’s a certain smugness on campus. Especially around the Wharton crowd.</p>
<p>Ditto on Brown. Not Penn.</p>
<p>Wait a minute, I know plenty of “Brownies” that when you meet them the fact they went to Brown was out of their mouths within 5 minutes, that goes for Dartmouth too. I think when you are dealing with schools in the Top 20, people just tend to be proud and sometimes pompous about their affiliations. I got less of that vibe at Penn than at HYP. The vibe I sensed at Penn was more of a privilige type thing. Lots of people with truckloads of money, however that being said there are plenty of people who could be classified as middle class, you just need to find your niche. Believe it or not there are some pretty nice people on campus who do not flaunt their wealth.</p>
<p>UPenn is the easiest ivy to get into, with highest admit rate.</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, Brown was named the douchiest college in the USA by GQ</p>
<p>I would actually say Penn is the most pompous, maybe followed by Harvard, Yale, and Columbia. I would say Brown and Dartmouth are the friendliest/ most chill.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well that’s to be expected at a school where 50% of the wharton students go into investment banking. </p>
<p>Yeah I also disagree with that notion that Brown students are not pretentious…that’s certainly not true for the Brownies I know</p>
<p>german_car and happymedstudent deserve each other.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>you’re basically the only student at penn who cares about the rankings</p>
<p>no one at penn is “smug” about their current ranking. no one cares. except muerteapablo.</p>
