[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Dartmouth has been wildly overrated[/b] for a while, so this new ranking isn’t surprising to me.

Top 15 all look about accurate to me.[/quote]

True. Dartmouth is truly the lowest ivy. People think it's Cornell because Cornell stats gets dragged down because of its agriculture and hotel schools. B[b]ut Dartmouth is hands down the easiest ivy to get into.[/b]

Very sorry that despite Dartmouth being the "easiest ivy" to get into (your words not mine), your kid STILL didn't get into Dartmouth. Hope you can find solace in wherever your student landed. [/quote]

Cornell's acceptance rate is 9% (RD). Dartmouth and Brown are tied at 6% (RD). Excluding EDs, Dartmouth and Brown are also tied at 4% while Cornell is 7%.

The data is in College Transitions for 2022 admissions. It's good to be informed of facts. [/quote]

Not that any of these numbers truly bear on quality, but in terms of facts, when talking about a university with a diverse array of colleges, the top line number doesn't tell you much.  I have no clue whether the numbers quoted above are correct for the other colleges/universities, but within Cornell, the acceptance rates vary significantly.  For Arts and Sciences, the largest school, the most recently reported acceptance rate was 6% overall, meaning much lower for RD.  Anyone interested in facts can do the math for the other schools here: https://mitadmissions.org/apply/process/stats/
