I have affiliations with neither school. People know Columbia University. Unlike the University of Pennsylvania, which is often associated with a state school.

DS had friends who went there. A&S students have some massive inferiority complex to Wharton. Joke still goes that there are three kinds of students at Penn: "those who attend Wharton, those who want to transfer into Wharton, and those who want to marry a Wharton grad."

True. And Penn A&S simply is the weakest of its kind within the Ivy League.

Untrue and ignorant.

The fact that Brown is #6 and also a fun place to go to school are reasons why it is so popular with applicants.

Not PP, but maybe you should stop being a jerk and stop bashing other schools, too. You get back what you give.

CAS was pretty much overshadowed by Wharton and the school's numerous joint programs, like Huntsman or Jerome Fisher, and still is to this day.

And it's also why it's not taken seriously in academia and its declining prestige. Brown is the type of school that has the most prestige with 17 year olds, and then trends downward.

Haha I guess your kid didn’t get into Brown. It is a school that is taken very seriously in academia and that’s why the WSJ ranked it #6.

My kid didn't even apply to Brown. They targeted HYPSM and got in most of them.

Brown is abysmal when it comes to pretty much any metric that academe cares about. It simply isn’t a heavyweight. And it’s undergrad is by far its most prestigious component, which is a little sad considering that even its undergrad is not all that, just famous for being loosey-goosey and liberal. The only reason it’s even relevant is because it rides on the coattails of the likes of HYP — more successful and significantly more relevant in every single aspect.

By putting Duke at #5 and Brown #6 above Princeton at #9. This ranking is a joke.

It’s only famous for all the celebrity children and trust fund babies who went there, and probably has the highest concentration of such students in the Ivy League.

Forbes is worse with UCB at 1. So I'll take this one.

No one takes these rankings as seriously as US News. Maybe except DCUM.

Brown boosters are pathetic.

I’ve never seen a Princeton booster being so insecure.
