Fixed it for you. Dartmouth is a lower ivy along with Brown and Cornell. Columbia and Penn are kind of in the middle, definitely way above Dartmouth.

No, it's not. Chicago is also 50% larger, thus Dartmouth spaces are more prestigious. Chicago would be in the 10-13 range were it not for shameless rankings gaming.[/quote]

This is delusional. Size has nothing to do with prestige. Dartmouth is definitely below HYP, Columbia, Penn. It is not an established top 10 school. It is on par with Brown and Cornell in the 10-13 range. 
Not a huge Chicago fan but it is fair to say that it is an established top 10 school. The undisputed top 10 schools are HYPSM, Columbia, Penn, Caltech, Chicago. The #10 spot would go either to Duke or Dartmouth or Brown,  but it is not established. [/quote]
