[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people who are worried about their choices bring this topic up.

There are kids going to Cornell because it is the only Ivy they got into.  Cornell is a larger school by design.  So some are bitter because they wanted something else.  Those kids shouldn't have applied in the first place.  Ivy or bust is a dumb strategy.

Penn has really increased in appeal since I was a kid in Western PA.  Probably because the Philly surrounds have improved.  When I was a college freshman my friend who went to Penn said that a noticeable number of freshmen around her were grumpy and still griping about not getting into Harvard or Yale.

USNWR rankings were a Hail Mary strategy to save a failing magazine.  It worked but created an anti-intellectual nightmare.  [b]People should look for the programs that best fit their goals and disregard the boundaries of ancient athletic leagues.[/b]  It's kind of funny that the Ivy League isn't even good at football, which is one of the reasons it exists.[/quote]

Right.

Reading this thread is jaw dropping.
Like this post from a Cornell engineering mom:
"My son is going to be a Sr in Engineering at Cornell. He selected Cornell over CMU and UIUC. [b]It wasn’t even close[/b]. What a ludicrous discussion…."
