<p>I thought it was generally accepted that Dartmouth>Brown especially considering Brown’s whole P/NP thing and lack of +/-</p>
<p>Isn’t it something along the lines of
Tier 1 (HYP)
Tier 2 (Penn/Columbia)
Tier 3 (Dart>Brown>Cornell)</p>
<p>Why can’t college be like RPG’s. Increase attack and defense. That’s all.</p>
<p>@Supa_Ramga</p>
<p>I find Brown so superior to the other three because…well, I do, haha. I’ve toured Brown, and really just love Brown. The people there seem extremely smart and well-rounded, they have great programs all around, and I am really all behind the open curriculum and pass/fail policies. I also loved the area and prefer it over every other college. It’s definitely my top choice for transfer. It’s the best school in the world for certain people, I would say (honestly, I would probably choose it over any other school in the world if given the opportunity). </p>
<p>I’m ranking the schools more on undergraduate experience in addition to prestige though, as I think it should be. If I was ranking solely on prestige, I would probably put Berkeley on the top. Weird I know, but I feel like most people view that school on par with Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford.</p>
<p>You’re all idiots.</p>
<p>Cornell is above Brown and Ucla. Though Berkeley and Cornell are fairly close.</p>
<p>Why Brown outranks Cornell on all these little lists is very odd?</p>
<p>Cornell has consistently beat Brown in national rankings for like ten years.</p>
<p>Staying on topic: I’d choose UCB over UCLA.</p>
<p>Off topic: People are saying Dartmouth is tier 3? I’m pretty confident Dartmouth could beat Cornell any day. People usually do the Harv, Prince, Yale as the top 3, but I think that’s just due to name recognition. I have yet to meet a person who applied to all the Ivies and chose to go to Cornell over all the choices (given they got in all the schools). Also it depends on your major and my huge bias towards strong business schools. </p>
<p>Also Brown is a very interesting school because it doesn’t always show that high in university rankings, but you really got to visit the place. The students are SO happy they are there and they actually enjoy their academics there. If you are interested in learning, there will always be classes, clubs, and professors who are geared towards your interests. </p>
<p>Just to throw it out there: Don’t Dartmouth grads boast the highest salary like 10+ years after graduation?</p>
<p>*** at RileyJohn. We’re all idiots because we don’t rely solely on a ranking system to make our judgments? We’re idiots for forming our own opinions based on experience, I guess. </p>
<p>Also, LOL at saying “Cornell is above Brown” like it’s some kind of fact. No one else believes that except people who rely too much on U.S. News. If Cornell is a better fit for someone that’s one thing, but that clearly doesn’t seem to be the way RileyJohn is ranking colleges.</p>
<p>My opinions are all that matters. case closed.</p>
<p>And midnightgolfer,</p>
<p>it usually goes</p>
<p>Tier 1-
Harvard, Princeton, Yale</p>
<p>Tier 2-
Columbia, Dartmouth, Upenn</p>
<p>Tier 3
Cornell, Brown</p>
<p>RileyJohn you are an idiot.</p>
<p>Obviously Brown > Cornell since Emma Watson is moving in.</p>
<p>Cornell is the lowest Ivy. There really is no debate on that. Unless of course, you are Cornell-fanboy.</p>
<p>LOLLLLLLLLLL this is why i made this thread, i knew somthing like this would happen hahahahahaha, we are in a UC Transfer forum, and you guys are arguing about Ivy League Schools. Tbh id choose any ivy league education/degree over a UC education/degree any day.</p>
<p>Would you be willing to pay twice as much for Cornell over Cal/UCLA? Twice as much for Brown over Cal/UCLA?</p>
<p>supa ramga, if i were to get into brown (and cal and la), i would not pay nearly as much as i would if i were to go to a uc. if your farmily doesnt make 100000 u r guaranteed a huge scholarship. (Source: brother goes to upenn)</p>
<p>(Tier 1) Harvard, Yale, Princeton</p>
<p>(Tier 2) Dartmouth, Colombia, Brown</p>
<p>(Tier 3) Penn, Cornell</p>
<p>My first choices would be Brown, Penn, Dartmouth, Colombia, however. HYP just doesn’t appeal to me. Students seem much happier at Brown, Penn and Dartmouth.</p>
<p>@Supa_Ramga id prolly pay less at an ivy league than at a UC. the Ivies give HUGEE scholarships, and even if they didnt, yes i would still pay high tuiton for them, becuase I would be able to ride the school name into the job market. Those schools also allow for lotsss of connections.</p>
<p>i would go to an ivy league over Cal/UCLA. Tuition hikes at UC’s are making the worth to cost ratio a better deal for ivy’s than UC’s.</p>
<p>It depends on the ivy school. I’ve already gotten in to Cornell Spring quarter (reapplied) but I haven’t committed because I know I’d take Cal/UCLA over them any day. I know my financial aid there is going to be pretty limited if my parents make 150k, so I don’t really see a point going to a place which isn’t really my “dream” school. I’d rather save that money on grad school.</p>
<p>alright, lets try to push this back on topic, this isnt really the place for Ivy league schools.</p>
<p>^Although they have the best food. Or so I’ve heard. </p>
<p>But still, Brown > Cornell</p>
<p>On what basis? Business? Cornell’s AEM dominates any of Brown’s programs.</p>
<p>Pre-med? Cornell sends more students to med school than any other school in the country.</p>
<p>What is exactly so special about Brown?</p>
