Not so.  Other schools have something else that gives them a unique identity.  [b]Dartmouth is a college in a rural part of Vermont[/b].  Columbia is in arguably the best city in the world.  Brown appeals to a student with an artsy sensibility.  Cornell is like an Ivy/Big Ten hybrid and the students are happy there.

But Penn started out like HYP, and in a major city to boot.  And, over time, both the city and the university failed to keep up, and everyone knows it.

Plenty of students turn down Penn for Duke, or apply to Duke but not Penn.  And the Duke students are, by far, a happier bunch.   But Penn students will never be happy because the vast majority really wanted HYP (or S), and they know that their disappointment is transparent to the world.  Nothing will ever make their hurt go away.  Not having Wharton on campus for the grinds, or having Duke, Northwestern, or Chicago to look down on.  They still went to Penn. [/quote]

Lol how can we even take you seriously if you dont even know the basics about the ivies?[/quote]

Hanover, NH might as well be in Vermont - all rural New England.  [/quote]
