Nothing scandalous: - Severe GPA inflation - Not being able to compete with nearby state schools for all but two programs, while being much more expensive - Elitism that comes with being an Ivy - Students are in many ways competing against each other (in certain programs)

> nearby state schools Are Ivies near any of the generally top tier state schools ? My intuition was that the best state schools were near Chicago and in California. I do feel like state schools do outcompete nearby 'prestige' private schools in those two regions. UPenn -> Maryland Cornell -> Buffalo Harvard, Dartmouth -> UMass Yale, Brown -> UConn Columbia -> SUNY Stony brook Princeton -> Rutgers ________ I know UMass, Rutgers and UMaryland have strong CS & Engineering programs. Dunno much about the other schools or other programs though.
