Prestige-wise? Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia, Penn.

Applying to College
1

<p>I guess I consider Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia, and Penn to be the middle-ives(with HYP at the top and Cornell at the bottom). So how would you order these in prestige? I say
Columbia
Dartmouth
Penn (Regular, not Wharton)
Brown</p>

<p>College essay forum?
Penn has Wharton. :D</p>

<p>I would put Brown above Penn…but I don’t know much about Penn.</p>

4

<p>Columbia </p>

<p>Dartmouth/ Brown - Tie; I don’t know, Brown seems to be more famous for some reason. And I personally prefer brown anyway. </p>

<p>Penn (only if you discount Wharton, though)</p>

<p>I always find these funny. Rarely does a person who has attended any of these schools get involved in comparing mine versus yours. As an alum of one of the eight, I know first hand that the differences are small and know enough to respect others from the other seven (and elsewhere). Almost invariably, it’s outsiders who discuss the Ivy prestige rankings. </p>

<p>Trust me. Been there done that. The “prestige” differential ain’t all dat!</p>

6

<p>those are hella tough to compare.
i think its…
dartmouth/ brown
columbia
penn</p>

7

<p>I agree that there’s really very little difference…but Brown is generally at the bottom of my list</p>

<p>Columbia/Penn
Dartmouth
Brown</p>

<p>yes, I agree with the U.S. news rankings</p>

<p>For prestige?</p>

<p>Columbia
Penn
Brown
Darthmouth</p>

<p>It shouldn’t matter though.</p>

<p>depends on your major. but brown is at the bottom of the pile anyways. perceived by a lot of people as a party school (and you have to admit, it is).</p>
