[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Cornell is the Ivy that is least differentiated from strong public universities.[/quote]
Why?

Cornell and Penn are similar to each other.  Large sizes.  Separate admissions for Wharton/Dyson.  
If you think Agriculture is public school, what about Penn nursing?  
I don't think they are that different. [/quote]

Penn has about 150 nursing students per class. Arts and sciences plus engineering are the size of Harvard and Columbia. Cornell has a huge Ag school, bigger artsSci, E school, and business and hotel schools. Intros are huge and divided. Penn kids take most of the basic chemistry physics math and all distribution reqs together, the latter w wharton. Wharton takes math and half other classes with Seas and CAS. Penn is interdisciplinary and students mix in everything except for the small group of nursing students. Cornell is very different. Cornell campus physically is huge with many more buildings. Classes are bigger.
 I have had an undergrad at each. Cornell is a more academic version of VT and rural location similar too. Penn is very different, closest to Columbia and Harvard, urban adjacent but has its own campus. Completely different feel and student vibe. [/quote]
