This might seem like a dumb question, but is Carnegie Mellon part of the Ivy League? I keep seeing mixed info online, anyone know for certain?
Carnegie Mellon University is not part of the Ivy League. The Ivy League is a group of eight institutions: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Brown, Dartmouth, and Cornell. These schools are all located in the northeastern United States.Carnegie Mellon, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a private research institution known for its programs in computer science, engineering, business, and the arts. Despite not being part of the Ivy League, it's highly respected and well-renowned in these fields. One thing to remember is that while the Ivy League schools are prestigious, there are numerous non-Ivy League institutions that offer high-quality education and resources. Carnegie Mellon is certainly among them.
