<p>How does Cornell stack up compared to other Ivy schools? What would you say is the order of the Ivy League schools from most prestigious to least?</p>
<p>Cornell stacks up just fine against other Ivy League schools. Plus, one thing I think everyone forgets is that to everyone else in the world who is not on this website, the difference in prestige between for example, Cornell and Dartmouth, is infinitely small. I don't even know which would be stacked above the other, and I'm pretty well informed. Concern yourself about other things.</p>
<p>Why does it matter who is more prestigious?</p>
<p>My own subjective unscientific ranking</p>
<p>Harvard
Princeton
Yale
Columbia
UPenn
Cornell
Brown
Dartmouth</p>
<p>I think you can define "prestige" multiple ways. The school order might be different if you are trying to impress some guy on the street as opposed to an employer or graduate school. I think all of the Ivies are very good (They are the Ivy League), and there was a thread about this before. I know this looks nothing like many other peoples' lists but my personal one is:</p>
<p>Harvard
Yale
Cornell
Princeton
Brown
Columbia
UPenn
Dartmouth</p>
<p>But also, in specific departments each is known more for something. Look at the "Ivy League" article on Wikipedia; there is a list of notable departments for each school.</p>
<p>Harvard
Yale
Princeton
Columbia
UPenn
Brown
Dartmouth
Cornell</p>
<p>lol, from a cornell student</p>
<p>when i think of prestige, part of it is how selective it is, and cornell is the least selective ivy, therefore, my order</p>
<p>Just because a school has a lower acceptance rate does not mean that the school is not as selective.</p>
<p>Take U of Chicago as a perfect example.</p>
<p>but Chicago has SAT scores that leave almost every ivy save h,y, and p in the dusk.</p>
<p>Yeah, it makes sense to talk about SAT scores, but I just wanted to point out that lower acceptance does not necessarily mean that the college is easy to get in to.</p>
<p>when are people gonna stop asking this question?
whatever happened to going to a college which is right for you?
trying to rank colleges in the ivy league is ridiculus, as I saw someone post somewhere here, no prestigious employer is going to say "cor-what?" and people need to get over that fact.</p>
<p>Actually, I think that people don't really look so much at what a college's acceptance rate is so much as what the college actually has to give its students. I think that having excellent resources is what most people look for when judging a college (and by most people I mean employers).</p>
<p>stop the prestige hookery!</p>
<p>in no particular order</p>
<p>UPenn
Cornell
Harvard
Princeton
Yale
Dartmouth
Brown
Columbia</p>
<p>whooooo careesssss ivy league is ivy league</p>
<p>i dunno really, but maybe in order of acceptance rate (not quite intelligent, though, i'll just list it)</p>
<p>Harvard
Yale
columbia
princeton
brown
dartmouth
upenn
cornell</p>
<p>I think, at least internationally, Cornell is considered more prestigious than Princeton or Dartmouth or UPENN for that matter. My father who had applied here as an international student, said that in his country, students had heard of Cornell but not Princeton, Dartmouth or UPENN. Also, Cornell's higher acceptance rate is also releated to the larger class size of cornell where the average entering class is around 3000 students...Cornell is a great institution and people should try to choose colleges based on the subjects that interest them...I mean, if a person would like to do engineering at an Ivy League college, Cornell might be the better choice of all 7. Just my two cents.</p>
<p>There you go. Please do a little searching next time. But like others have said they're all Ivy, so they're all prestigious. HYP above the others a little, and that's it.</p>
<p>i hated this thread before i read it.</p>
<p>for prestige:
HYP are undisputedly at the top of the ivy league with infinitesimally small differences. Likewise, the rest of the ivies are below them with infinitesimally small differences in prestige. It would be difficult to make a fair breakdown any more specific than that.</p>
<p>Well yeah but theres also discrepancies from that perspective, where I come from the ivy league is just HYP lol</p>
<p>where do you come fro frddyGV? I didn't know the rest of the sports conference didn't exist in some places? ;)</p>
<p>Also, my prestige comment was for the US only...on international circuts the prestige evaluation changes.</p>
