Where do you folks come up with this stuff? Is there some underground media that reports on this stuff, or do you just create it out of whole cloth? |

Are we really back to this ?
Forget it ! Give it a rest, already. You go to Penn if you do not get into other significant places in the Ivy League or similar colleges. That means Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth for the Ivy League Colleges; and Stanford/MIT. There is also Williams, Amherst, Swathmore to consider. |

These statistics speak for themselves. People vote with their feet and application submissions. Here are the admission rates to the Ivy League colleges for the class of 2025:
Harvard, 3.43% Columbia, 3.66% Princeton, 3.98% Yale, 4.6% Brown, 5.4% University of Pennsylvania, 5.7% Dartmouth, 6.2% |

Cornell's, although not officially reported, is around ~9% |

He’s a wonderful billionaire union buster. I’m sure Penn is proud. |

| It's all subjective. Personally I love Penn and don't think Brown is worth the stale fart smell clinging to my mesh shorts, with its open curriculum and rampant grade inflation. Another person, particularly someone focused on social justice nad wokeism, might have the opposite opinion. |

| Sometime in the very late 80s to early 90s it really took off. Bottom Ivy through the 70s. But Wharton was another story. |

Wrong. You go to Wharton undergrad above all those of that’s your thing. |

Do those decimal point differences mean anything especially with a margin of error? I’m perplexed. Do you all actually think that this means a student chosen at random from Harvard vs. Penn or Columbia is statistically that different? |

If that's your thing, though, you're branded a tool for life, and Goldman will still hire art history majors from Yale and Princeton who'll end up making more than you. |

Do you think Harvard is proud of the many corrupt dictators who have graced its campus? Harvard Law School gave us Ted Cruz. Is he any better than Trump? |

I'd bet everything I own that Ted Cruz would blow you away on an IQ test like a protein fart a bodybuilder'd been holding back for three hours. Even his law school professors say he's the smartest student they've ever taught. |

Where have you been hiding? The pecking order seems to be 100+ years old now. Top: HYP Next: Columbia/Penn/Cornell The rest: Brown/Dartmouth (which are really more liberal arts schools than big global schools) |

The dumbass "R1 universities are really liberal arts colleges!" strikes again. No they are not, you are completely wrong, and every classification and data point says otherwise. |
