<p>Jonathan your list contains Brown twice and Penn not at all...so as of now I cannot include your input.</p>

<p>Penn regains the #6 ranking, dropping Dartmouth to #7 (only 8 points separate the two). #2 Princeton, #3 Brown, and #4 Harvard remain separated by a small margin, now only 14 pts. #1 Yale stays far ahead of the pack, while #8 Cornell trails the #7 Dartmouth by a large margin.</p>

<p>Dartmouth, Penn, and Columbia were named "favorite ivy" (ranked #1 by a user) at least four times since I last posted and updated the overall rankings.</p>
<p>I think if people really understood Cornell's unique mission, they wouldn't always put it at the bottom of their lists. Perhaps the most innovative and widely effective model in all of American education can't catch a break primarily because it's not elitist. That saddens me.</p>

UCLA, since the F and the D are right next to each other on the keyboard, was your spelling of "Fartmouth" accidental or intentional? Given that you placed it at the bottom of the heap, I assume it wasn't a mere case of "fat-finger-syndrome".

<p>Brown is first because the open curriculum is just so appealing!</p>
<p>very interesting results so far...keep the posts coming!</p>
<p>Academically</p>
<p>Brown (Love the Open Curriculum
Yale
Harvard
Columbia (Oddly enough I like the Core Concept too)
Princeton
Cornell
Penn
Dartmouth</p>
<p>Where I would go?
Harvard (There is only one Harvard)
Yale
Columbia (Location Location Location)
Princeton
Brown
Penn
Cornell
Dartmouth</p>
<p>Just for Location
1. Harvard (I want to go there for graduate school. Boston's amazing.)
2. Dartmouth (It's beautiful in NH, and I don't mind being away from a major city that much. Two hours isn't that bad.....)
3. Yale (I always wanted to meet pretentious Connecticut people, i.e. Martha Stewart)
4. Brown (Providence is kind of cool)
5. Princeton (Eh. Suburban. I want something new)
6. Columbia (I never really liked NYC. My parents warned me about it being dirty. They worked there, so they know.)
7. Penn (I don't really like Pennsylvania in general for some reason. I always think of gross, disgusting cheese steaks in Philly and smog in Pittsburgh, though I'm sure it's a lovely school)
8. Cornell (Not sure why I actually applied there. Not that crazy about Ithaca....)</p>
<p>Academically for undergraduate
1. Dartmouth (best undergraduate focus, plus the distributive requirements means well-roundedness, which is always good)
2. Brown (love the "no real requirements" thing)
3. Penn (not so sure about this, but whatever.)
4. Columbia
5. Cornell (I hear it's very difficult, though I'm sure that's why it's so good.)
6. Princeton
7. Yale
8. Harvard (the last three seem very graduate student focused to me.....)</p>
<p>Best for total undergrad experience
1. Dartmouth (Probably because I'm attending; it's hard to say. I loved Dimensions though. <3)
2. Brown (how can you compete when they are the happiest according to the Princeton Review?)<br>
3. Harvard (great resources, though they're probably meant more for grad students. Boston is a nice city too.)
4. Princeton
5. Yale
6. Columbia (for some reason, being in NYC would be pretty scary to me. I like to be safe. I don't want to have to worry about being stabbed at 9 o'clock at night- although there's a lot to do in the city)
7. Penn (less to do in the city, not crazy about Philly, though it is very interestingly historic, and I like Ben Franklin.)
8. Cornell (I'd probably end up committing suicide. I really don't know why I applied there.)</p>
<p>There are only three Ivies I would really want to go to:</p>
<ol>
<li>Penn (I love big cities and Philly is one of my favorites. Plus is seems like Penn is a more "normal" school compared to the other Ivies.)</li>
<li>Harvard (Boston is a great city, not huge, but a lot to do for its size. And it's Harvard.)</li>
<li>Columbia (NYC.)</li>
</ol>
<p>I really wouldn't want to go to any of the other ones, but if I had to rank them it would be:</p>
<ol>
<li>Yale (It just seems to be strong in all fields, with an emphasis on public service.)</li>
<li>Princeton (I don't really like it, but it was one of two Ivies I got into out of the five that I applied to.)</li>
<li>Cornell (Andrew Bernard.)</li>
<li>Dartmouth (Eh. This school just never appealed to me.)</li>
<li>Brown (Ditto.)</li>
</ol>
<p>RANKINGS (accurate through JimmyC045, based on a total of 199 responses):</p>

<h1>Yale leads #2 Princeton by a huge margin of 97 pts. #2 Princeton, #3 Brown, and #4 Harvard remain separated by a small margin, now only 16 pts. #6 Penn and #7 Dartmouth are separated by only 9 pts. #8 Cornell is 87 pts behind #7 Dartmouth.</h1>

<p>Brown seems to have the highest standard deviation and is often ranked all over the board (#1 through #8) by users. Harvard interestingly lags behind most of the other Ivies in being named #1 or favorite Ivy, while Penn surprisingly has received some of the most #1's but is still only #6 on the overall rankings.</p>

<p>Can you provide standard deviations in your analysis? And confidence intervals?</p>
<p>oh man i'm taking statistics now and i hate it...i can post standard deviations...not too sure about how to do confidence intervals...</p>
<p>Standard Deviation (accurate through JimmyC045, based on a total of 199 responses):
Brown-2.658
Princeton-2.645
Dartmouth-2.607
Columbia-2.596
Penn-2.578
Harvard-2.493
Cornell-2.479
Yale-2.460</p>
<p>The s.d.'s are very close, but I would say that it's interesting that Harvard is consistently ranked in the high to middle of the Ivies, while Cornell and Yale have very low sd's because Cornell is ranked last or close to last very often while Yale is ranked first (or close to first) very often. But really the differences in sd are so small (and are based on a large number of responses) that they are not really statistically significant.</p>
