Helpful Hints Here

First, the Ivy League is comprised of 8 Universities.
Harvard
Yale
Princeton
UPenn

Brown
Dartmouth
Cornell
It is an athletic league and nothing more. Certain schools like Stanford, MIT, CalTech are easily better than some Ivies (Cornell, Dartmouth) and tie others (UPenn, Brown, Columbia)
I put them in order of which seem to be the best (to the "worst" as if there is one)
They are excellent schools and you are lucky if you are able to attend them, however, there are many (well ok like 5-10)schools that are just as good.
