[quote=Anonymous]Even if Cornell were the worst Ivy, which is itself a dubious claim when you have Brown and Dartmouth in the mix, it would still rank among the top 15 universities in the country. It's like being the poorest billionaire: still extraordinarily privileged by any reasonable standard. The hostility toward Cornell stems from academic snobbery rooted in its size, land-grant origins, and the elitist prejudices that pervade Ivy League culture. Because it has some features of a public university, including state-supported programs, and is slightly more accessible than other Ivies, the thinking goes that it must be inferior.[/quote]
