Ivy League rankings?

I know the Ivy League schools are pretty prestigious, but is there actually an order in which they're ranked? Just wanted to know if it's worth considering for my college applications. Thanks for the help!

Yes, there are often rankings that compare Ivy League schools based on various factors such as academic quality, student life, faculty, financial resources, and other aspects. However, these rankings can differ slightly depending on the source providing them and the weight they give to certain factors.

It's important to keep in mind that rankings shouldn't be the only thing you consider when making college decisions. The best school for you might not be the top-ranked Ivy League school; it will depend on your specific needs, preferences, and goals, as a school might be lower ranked overall, but be a stronger choice for your particular area of study or extracurricular interests.

That being said, here is a general overview of Ivy League schools, listed in order of their national ranking according to U.S. News & World Report:

1. Princeton University

2. Harvard University

3. Columbia University

4. Yale University

5. University of Pennsylvania

6. Dartmouth College

7. Brown University

8. Cornell University

Again, though, just because a school is ranked higher here doesn't necessarily mean it's the ideal fit for you. It's essential to research each school individually and consider factors like major offerings, student life, location, size, and available resources. Ultimately, all of the Ivy League schools will give you an excellent education, or you may even find that a school other than these institutions is where you'll truly thrive and grow.

Happy college hunting!
