The Daily Beast has released a new set of rankings of the most dangerous Ivy League Schools. This is one instance where Cornell should be happy to be in last place. In order of dangerousness:
1) Harvard
2) Penn
3) Brown
4) Columbia
5) Yale
6) Princeton
7) Dartmouth
8 ) Cornell
At least this set makes a bit more sense than the previous TDB rankings.
