<p>Wait I don’t get it, what is the point of this? If you want to rank a school by prestige, you have two options:</p>
<p>1.) Use the search tool on this forum; this thread has been made at least 200 times.
2.) USNWR PA Rankings</p>
<p>At least we all agree on one thing, Harvard probably wins this.</p>
<p>And Stanford and MIT are the top non-Ivies.</p>
<p>Until I was 12 I thought Stanford was an Ivy…</p>
<p>huh?..Stanford is not an Ivy?</p>
<p>since when?</p>
<p>Since it moved to California :)</p>
<p>^^^,outside America, I have met tons of educated people who believe Stanford and MIT are Ivies and forget Princeton, Dartmouth, Penn and Brown.
if you ask them to name all Ivies, the typical answer will be like:
“I can only remember 6 of them: Harvard, Stanford, Yale, MIT, Columbia and Cornell. btw, whats the other two?”</p>
<p>^ they remember cornell but forget princeton? whaaaaaaaaaaa??</p>
<p>LOL!</p>
<p>When I told the whole list of real Ivies here in my country, they all react like “Where’s MIT & Stanford? And what the heck is Dartmouth?”</p>
<p>Post #30 sums it up for the international take on the ivies (although I would disagree about Princeton). A lot of educated people outside of the US have never heard of Dartmouth, Penn, and Brown and replace them with Stanford and MIT when asked to name the ivies.</p>

<p>Ive got that bias towards publics, but hey, this is subjective after all…</p>
<p>On the international front, UC Berkeley would be up there in recognition and prestige with the Ivies…in some countries only Harvard would trump it.</p>

<p>@seta, how can they know Cornell but not Princeton? Have they not read This Side of Paradise? Haha.</p>
<p>I’ve met many people who will think the Ivies are:
Harvard
Yale
Princeton
Stanford
MIT</p>
<p>Then I’ll tell them there are eight Ivies, and that Stanford and MIT aren’t Ivies. Cornell, Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia and UPenn are.</p>
<p>They will respond like this, “Isn’t Pennsylvania a state in the US? Isn’t that a state university?”</p>
