<p>i am a bit biased, but here's my ranking:</p>
<ol>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Yale/Penn</li>
<li>Dartmouth/Princeton</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Cornell/Brown</li>
</ol>
<p>Ranking methodology.. well, I ranked schools with the most $$ for research/medicine and stuff. Also, by reading the brochures, i feel that some schools expose undergrads a lot more to research stuff.</p>
<p>If this is not an Ivy forum, I would put in WUStL and Duke near Yale. :)</p>
<p>My ranking for sciences/medicine/research is:</p>
<ol>
<li>Harvard/Cornell</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>UPenn/Columbia/Yale/Brown</li>
<li>Dartmouth </li>
</ol>
<p>Minus Harvard and Cornell though, the Ivy Leagues would be not be very good in sciences/medicine/research.</p>
<p>How so? I thought Yale and Penn were great in sciences/medicine/research.. hm</p>
<p>no, yale is terrible in the sciences
they are currently allotting a TON of money to the sciences, but they are still catching up with harvard and columbia</p>
<p>I have to put Princeton at #1...princeton has the best research opportunities in math and science. Then: </p>
<p>Harvard
Columbia
Yale
Penn
Cornell
Brown/Dartmouth</p>
<p>i dont see how you can put Dartmouth and Brown above Cornell in terms of research...Cornell has much more resources and opportunities for this</p>
<p>Cornell has the second best engineering dept of the ivies, and it is first or second in most science disciplines for the ivies. </p>
<p>I don't understand why Cornell is considered to be so "low" in the east coast. Us west coasters consider Cornell to be above Brown and Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Speak for yourself! I'm from the West Coast, and I definitely stick Cornell @ the bottom of the Ivy heap (which is not to say it's bad).</p>
<p>^ Where did u go to school? I went to Berkeley. The perception is that Cornell is quite a good school because of their focus on academic research. Most of the people I know have not heard of Brown or Dartmouth.</p>
<p>BTW in case you haven't noticed, this ranking is based on science/medicine/research. Yes, you either did not notice, or do not know much about research reputations of the ivies.</p>
<p>Cornell should definitely be above Brown...regarding Dartmouth, it depends what career you want to go into...Dartmouth has a better alumni network and better recruiting for business, which might not mean anything to you if you're interested in research and science, in which case you should go to cornell...everything works out.</p>
<ol>
<li>Penn(in the best city of the world, Philly)</li>
<li>Yale (cares about its undergrads)</li>
<li>Princeton( has a nice rich name P-r-i-n-c-e-t-o-n)</li>
<li>Columbia (good for pre-law esp. business or corporate)</li>
<li>Darthmouth (for the rich New Enlganders who want to stay close to home)</li>
<li>Brown( for the Princeton rejects)</li>
<li>Harvard(doesnt care about its undergrad but u can go anywhere and people know of Harvard
8.Cornell( worst ivy, you can go to Amherst and receive a better education)</li>
</ol>
<p>Cornell is #1, it is amazing!!! Columbia is the worst by far, what a POC</p>
<p>are u freakin kidding??? cornell is at the bottom top engineering applied sciences program in the ivies... third probably only to princeton/harvard</p>
<p>You really are a blonde aren't you. . . .</p>
<ol>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>UPenn - Cornell</li>
<li>Dartmouth</li>
</ol>
<p>gives a new definition to "dumb blonde"</p>
<p>dude u guys are retarded... and no i'm asian, i know my math ****... haha</p>
<p>oh i see what u mean... it doesn't make sense... sorry... but yea... cornell should be way higher at least for sciences and engineering</p>
<p>For sciences and research, Cornell is # 1.</p>
<p>No I was talking about blonde10708 who jokingly (I assume, because it would be impossible otherwise) called Columbia a POC. You'd have to be dumb to say that about Columbia. I said that jokingly back at that person. Although, now that you've brought it up, I never figured out what your post meant, but now that you've clarified, I'll just point out that Columbia is STILL number 1, not Cornell. Cornell is just so. . . . I don't know. . . . :-P</p>
<ol>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Brown - Cornell</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>UPenn</li>
<li>Dartmouth</li>
</ol>
<p>That's my new list, because the insistence of the Cornell people, believe it or not, slightly convinced me.</p>
