<p>Why not include MBAs, JDs, or MDs in a rank? Penn would surely not be sitting at the bottom of that pointless PhD list.</p>
<p>In any event, as far as strictly undergraduate studies go, I would say:</p>
<ol>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Dartmouth</li>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>Penn</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
</ol>
<p>Frankly, the smaller schools are just better at dealing with their students’ needs and rely less on the large, bureaucratic, dare I say public school-style machine model.</p>
