Ivy League ranked by name:
Harvard Yale Columbia Princeton Dartmouth Cornell Penn Brown I would say Penn and Brown are tied for last place, but I think Penn gets a slight boost because if you are traveling abroad and you say you graduated from University of Pennsylvania, people would understand that was a University in Pennsylvania, but if you tell them you are a student at Brown University, they ask "Huh? Why is it called Brown? Is there a Green U?" |
