I agree!  I'm thinking about the difference in environment between Dartmouth and Brown...it's huge.  I think Cornell is generally regarded as the easiest ivy to get into partially due to its large size, and partially because of it's location.  But it really depends on what you want to study.

As far as Brown being the ivy that people without a hope of getting into another ivy could get into...I don't think so--it's got a 9% acceptance rate!  That's lower than Dartmouth, Penn, and Cornell.  They may look at students a bit more holistically, which may account for slightly lower SAT scores, but it is still extremely competitive.   I think on average it is certainly harder to get into than Cornell, judging from friends of mine who applied there (recently...in the mid 2000s).  There is also a degree of randomness; every now and then you'll get the odd student who got into Columbia but not Brown.[/quote]
