<p>My list based off little/no experience with any of these schools:</p>

<p>1) Harvard - its Harvard!
2) Princeton - Visited one time and it was beautiful
3) Yale - Although not too safe, still great
4) Columbia - NYC =)
5) Brown - liberal + freedom + happiness
6) Penn - Seems cool
7) Cornell - Ithaca is beautiful and peaceful, but it's too far from anywhere
8) Dartmouth - no idea why it's last for me, I just don't like it I guess</p>

<p>My personal favorite is Princeton (though I'm probably biased since I'll be attending in the fall, haha). I really think there are a lot of misperceptions about Princeton. Out of the Ivy League schools I applied to, Princeton was the one I kind of threw in at the last minute... I'm so glad I did, though. I had a completely wrong impression of Princeton before my acceptance, and after I actually did some research and looked into it, I really do think it's the best undergraduate education I can receive. My first choice was initially Columbia, my second choice was Brown. I got into both, but after careful consideration I chose Princeton.</p>

<p>Obviously, it's different for everybody, since it really depends on individual preferences and needs.</p>

<p>JP, I honestly disagree. Dartmouth is extremely under-rated. The average person hasn't even heard of Dartmouth.</p>

<p>I think the most unique IVY schools are Cornell (hotel school) & Brown (freedom).</p>
