Elucidate on best Ivy League Schools

I know all Ivy League schools have a great reputation, but what are considered the 'top' Ivy League schools and why? Does it change depending on the major?

Absolutely, even among Ivy League schools, the perceived 'top' schools and their strengths can vary. Generally, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton are viewed as the 'top' schools due to their extensive resources, world-renowned faculty, diverse range of programs, and competitive admission rates. Still, the reputation of Ivy League schools can indeed change depending on the field of study.

For instance, if you're interested in business, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania is usually considered one of the top business schools in the world. For engineering, Cornell and Princeton are typically ranked highly. Dartmouth, although smaller, is known for its strong liberal arts focus and Princeton is renowned for its Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

For biological sciences, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton are generally on top. Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania are known for their superb pre-medical programs. Brown University stands out with its Open Curriculum, which gives students the freedom to explore a broad range of academic disciplines.

It's worth noting, however, that all Ivy League schools offer excellent programs across a wide range of disciplines. Your personal fit with the school - factoring in the location, campus culture, academic flexibility, and extracurricular opportunities - should also be considered when deciding which Ivy League school is the 'top' for you.
