the quarks of each ivy

Applying to College
1

<p>Just out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on this matter? For instance, how is Dartmouth different from U Penn in terms of academics and student body?</p>

2

<p>...quarks...</p>

<p><em>snickers</em></p>

3

<p>i think the biggest differences are in location, but upenn stands out as the most sports-minded (football), brown stands out as the most laid back, and cornell for being really career-oriented.</p>

<p>Quarks, do you mean querks? Ha, just kidding, I can't answer your question, but I am procrastinating this paper I have to write.</p>

<p>BTW, if you still don't know what we're talkin about...</p>

<p>quark </p>

<p>1 Any of a group of six elementary particles having electric charges of a magnitude one-third or two-thirds that of the electron, regarded as constituents of all hadrons.</p>

<p>2 A soft creamy acid-cured cheese of central Europe made from whole milk</p>

<p>Ummmm, yummm, quarks. Sorry, but some typos are funny.</p>

5

<p>isn't it "quirks" and not "querks"?</p>

6

<p>I suppose you want to know which are stranger than others? Which are up right now and which are down? Whether some are more charming than others? Which are on top and which are sinking to the bottom?</p>

7

<p>Yeah, it's quirks....</p>

8

<p>Even though the topic makes no sense....
some "quirky" stereotypes</p>

<p>Harvard- pretentious, self-important students</p>

<p>Yale- how the hell did you get in? NO ONE gets in</p>

<p>Princeton- well-connected WASP's</p>

<p>Columbia- sophisticated, indepent students who often concern themselves with philosophizing rather than doing anything practical</p>

<p>Brown- in a period of transition, I think. Used to be "hippie," but is shifting more towards the pre-professional climates of Penn and Cornell</p>

<p>Dartmouth- really smart kids who really want that classic college experience</p>

<p>Penn- jappy and pre-professional, overachievers who have never really achieved much</p>

<p>Cornell- so it's the only Ivy you got into? At least it's not tufts.</p>

<p>haha, these are spot-on.</p>

<p>This thread is ridiculously pointless.</p>

<p>isn't it "quirks" and not "querks"?</p>

<p>I was of course being facetious...</p>

You mean beer pong and throwing up?</p>

13

<p>Right on, drb ^.</p>

14

<p><em>the QUIRKS of each ivy</em> better? :D
As a Canadian, I'm not really familiar with the atmosphere of these schools and the only info I can get is the info on their websites and brochures, but I know that the info is probably not 100% accurate. So I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are. btw, whats a WASP? (I'm new at this)</p>

15

<p>Up quarks usually go to Penn.
Down quarks go to Princeton.
Strange quarks go to Brown.
Charm quarks go to Yale.
Top and bottom quarks go to Harvard, but they can only get in because they're URMs.</p>

<p>Sorry to perpetuate that, but I couldn't resist.</p>

16

<p>I thought the OP meant "Quacks"!</p>

17

<p>WASP would be white anglo-saxon protestant. generally refers to old money, elitist types. doesn't really have much to do with religion these days but the term has stuck</p>

18

<p>Hahaha these are hilarious.
You could also list "quarks" by type of clothing.
For example, if you go to Princeton you only wear Lacoste or Ralph Lauren polos and carry Louis Vuitton bags to class, and if you go to Brown, the only thing you own is a pair of Birkenstocks and an empty spot where a comb WOULD be if you weren't rocking dreadlocks.</p>

<p>WASP is White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.</p>

19

<p>Princeton-is for princes and princesses, duh, not! Put on your bourgeois face if you want to go here</p>

<p>Harvard-everybody has a certain talent that got them accepted, like making pb&j sandwiches for dubya (hope ppl understand my allusion).</p>

<p>Yale-FWLA club, or also known as Future Wannabe Lawyers of America</p>

<p>Columbia-Let's act sophisticated and catch a broadway show</p>

<p>Brown-Ya Maaan! Rastafarians maaan! Laid waayyy back man!</p>

<p>Cornell-You want to be a dairy farmer?</p>

<p>Datmouth-need to have a BAC of .38 to get in (that was awful)</p>

<p>Penn-Wait, Penn State?</p>
