[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of schools are considered better than Cornell, Brown, and Dartmouth.  This shouldn’t be news to anyone.[/quote]

Not really. The brand names of Cornell, Brown and Dartmouth are very strong internationally. Everyone has heard of them and respects them which is partially why these schools are ranked so high. [/quote]

In international rankings these schools are abysmal. Almost nobody has heard of them in most of the world.[/quote]

Well international rankings focus more on research - which is primarily performed by grad programs. So undergrad-focused schools gets punished. Can’t explain Cornell’s underperformance though, they’re just the weakest Ivy by a good margin[/quote]

There are all sorts of rankings.  I disagree that nobody's heard of Cornell outside the US.  My grandmother at Cornell in the 1930s had schoolmates from Asian countries (not Asian-Americans).

Here is a ranking scheme I've learned about from DCUM that is created in China for Chinese students.  It puts Cornell at #12, ahead of Penn.
