[quote=Anonymous]This whole "worst Ivy" debate is honestly missing the point. We're talking about 8 institutions that collectively accept around 14,000 students out of hundreds of thousands of applicants each year. That's like arguing which Ferrari is the "worst" - they're all incredible machines that 99.9% of people would be thrilled to own.
Cornell, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, Penn, Dartmouth - each has produced Nobel laureates, Supreme Court justices, presidents, and leaders in every field imaginable. They all offer world-class faculty, incredible resources, and alumni networks that open doors globally.
The real difference between these schools isn't quality - it's fit. Cornell's engineering program is phenomenal, Brown's open curriculum is perfect for some students, Dartmouth's tight-knit community appeals to others. What matters is finding the right match for your goals and personality, not some arbitrary ranking.
Anyone fortunate enough to get into any Ivy League school should feel proud. The fact that we're even debating which is "worst" among institutions that reject 95%+ of applicants shows how privileged this entire conversation is.[/quote]
