[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]some features of a public [/b]university, including state-supported programs, and is [b]slightly more accessible than other Ivies[/b], the thinking goes that it must be inferior.[/quote] What features of it are public? State-supported programs are not state schools. Do you know what are you talking about? Why does selectivity has anything to do with prestige? Penn has 40% acceptance rate in the 90s, no one has any doubt it's an ivy, then or now.[/quote]
