I'm planning to apply to some Ivy League schools next year and I want to do some research first. Could anyone recommend a trustworthy and reliable source to find Ivy League rankings?
Finding an accurate and reliable source for Ivy League rankings can be quite beneficial as you plan for your college applications.
For the most trusted and recognized university rankings, US News & World Report's Best Colleges list is a widely accepted resource. The ranking methodology takes into account factors such as graduation rates, financial resources, student satisfaction, faculty resources, and alumni giving, among others.
However, I'd like to emphasize that rankings should be considered as one of many factors while choosing a school. It's also important to consider the college culture, location, resources, student-faculty ratio, opportunities in your field of study, and other personal preferences you may have. After all, your aim should be to pick a school that's the right fit for you, where you can thrive both acadically and personally.
Also, keep in mind that all Ivy League schools are highly respected and offer excellent education opportunities. Therefore, a solid strategy could be to focus less on their ranking and more on which of them best match what you are looking for in a college experience.
