[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only place I've ever heard Brown (and Cornell) insulted as easy ivys is on DCUM.  The rest of the world will be impressed that you went to an Ivy League school. [/quote]

That's because DCUM is likely your only exposure to commonly held views among UMC/UC families.

Brown is generally seen in these circles as the least rigorous of the Ivies, and most inclined to admit celebrity kids who otherwise don't have the academic chops.  Cornell is considered an easier admit than the rest of the Ivies, but more demanding of its students.  It has a reputation for grade deflation, not being an "easy Ivy."

This is the truth based on opinions in these circles. However both are still seen as more prestigious than UVA and the hiring by top companies confirms it. Brown and Cornell for undergrad will never be viewed quite the same as HPY and Penn, stanford, Columbia (though that has slid significantly in favorability). Dartmouth in some groups is seen as better than Brown. It remains a fine school with the ivy bump[/quote]
