Are you counting stanford and MIT as ivy? If so then sure, but at least based off my experience, cs students that were accepted to ivy as well as stanford/mit/cmu always choose stanford/mit/cmu.

I'd love to see your data about whether students choose ivy vs. top state. I wasn't aware that existed so was just speaking from my experience knowing > 10 people choose U of I over ivys, including harvard.

I got a full ride to both Princeton and CMU for CS, and chose Princeton because I preferred their program. I was not the only one to do so.

Blanket statements are dumb ... typically :).

Brown and Dartmouth and Cornell are Ivy League and few would choose any of them over MIT or Stanford. Ivy League and top are not the same.
