<p>How would you rank the Ivies, MIT, Stanford, in terms of any of these categories...
A) Academics
B) Most difficult to get into to
C) Diversity
D) Students' stress level
E) Surrounding area</p>
<p>Or any other comments on comparing the Ivies and other top non-ivy schools.</p>
<p>A) depends what your goin’ for. for engineering, I would say MIT/Stanford/Penn/Cornell. it really just depends. each has its own niche.</p>
<p>B) Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Brown, MIT, Penn, Dartmouth, Cornell</p>
<p>C) idk</p>
<p>D) idk, probably Harvard/MIT tied as #1</p>
<p>E) Yale/Princeton have pretty ****ty surrounding areas (as in high poverty/high crime). same with UChicago.</p>
<p>For all categories, ivies, MIT, stanford</p>
<p>Penn wins with diversity, I think. Well, at least according to Newsweek they do, and I believe them. I believe this year’s class is over 50% ethnic minorities.</p>
