The Ivies, with their multibillion dollar endowments and flora-coated architecture, are revered as the pinnacle of America’s higher learning system. Each year, thousands compete for a spot within the Ivy League, often applying to several, if not all, of the eight schools.

But whether you are considering applying to three, five or all of the Ivies, you likely have a personal hierarchy worked out in your mind. Or maybe you don’t, and that’s why you’re here. Either way, it begs the question: what is the true ranking of the Ivy League schools? Which is the most desirable? The least?

If you’re having trouble deciding which Ivy would be best for you, read on for an insider look at these prestigious schools.

Our Method:

For the following categories, Ivies will be ranked on a scale of one to eight, with a one being the highest score the school can receive. Location: The Ivy Leagues are sprawled throughout America’s northeast, with locations ranging from windy New Hampshire to temperate Pennsylvania. This category will focus on the general appeal of each school’s location, from crime to weather to nearby amenities. Overall campus happiness: How happy is each school’s student body? Some Ivy League students are so content that they consistently rank amongst the nation’s happiest schools. For those that don’t, we took a look at more nuanced measures, including each Ivy’s ability to foster a sense of community among students. Quality of academics: It’s no mystery that the Ivy Leagues are considered the academic elite of the nation, consistently placing in the top 20 on all noted college lists. But how do they rank amongst themselves? Calculating in factors such as class size, student-to-faculty ratio, research opportunities, and overall college resources, we see how the Ivies’ standards of education stack up against one another. Job prospects: Students have a wide range of reasons for pursuing a college degree, but for most, the goal is to find a good job upon graduating. While all eight Ivies look impressive on a résumé, it’s fair to say some carry more weight than others. We’ve taken a look at a few key components, such as availability of jobs local to the university, average earning medians, global reputation, and overall ease in finding jobs. After the schools receive a rank in each of the following categories, the points will be added together. One point will then be added for each rank on the 2019 U.S. News National University ranking (for example, if a school placed third, three points will be added to their score.)

1st: Harvard

Location: With its proximity to Boston—often called the largest college town in America—Harvard students never run out of ways to keep busy off-campus. Though the winters are notoriously frigid, convenient location and low crime frequency have snagged Harvard a first place for location. Campus happiness: Whether as a result of Harvard’s massive endowment or its considerable offering of resources, students report feeling supported by the university in almost all of their endeavors. In conjunction with the residential college system, which fosters a tight-knit community, spirits on Harvard’s campus run high. For this category, Harvard places third. Quality of academics: It’s no secret that Harvard attracts some of the brightest students in the world. The resources offered are as yet unparalleled, including a faculty which boasts more Nobel Laureates than anywhere else. It’s perhaps then expected that Harvard pulls a first place for the quality of education students receive. Job prospects: With a prestigious alumni network, global reputation, and high median starting salary of $72,600, Harvard takes first in job prospects. Students find that the brand Harvard has built for itself serves them well just by association.

U.S. News Rank: 2nd place

Total out of 100: 92 points

2nd: Yale

Location: Located in New Haven, Connecticut, Yale’s neighborhood is known for having an unfortunate crime problem. That said, students who interact with the city say they grow to love it, owing to an abundance of cultural activities. In particular, the city’s collection of libraries, art galleries, and museums provide students with a welcome extension of the intellectual environment Yale is known for. Yale gets sixth for location. Campus happiness: Yale is one of only two Ivies to appear consistently on lists of the nation’s happiest campuses. The city’s cultural institutions make New Haven an ideal environment for fostering intellectual and social skills. For this reason, Yale grabs second place for campus happiness.

Quality of academics: While Princeton and Yale vary in their educational emphases—Yale offering more of a liberal arts approach—the two schools have long been considered incredibly comparable in the overall quality of education. For this reason, they are tied for second place in this category. Job prospects: After Harvard, Yale ranks highest of the Ivies for median salary ten years following graduation, with early pay averaging $68,300. This means earning prospects for Yale graduates is high. In overall job prospects, Yale ranks third on our list.

U.S. News Rank: 3rd place (tied)

Total out of 100: 84 points

3rd: Princeton

Location: Although Princeton, New Jersey is smaller and sleepier than most Ivy locations, the university boasts access to both Philadelphia and New York City by train. In addition, its relatively temperate weather is among the more tolerable of the Ivies’, earning Princeton the fourth place spot. Campus happiness: Princeton is infamous for its no-nonsense grading style, favoring grade deflation over anything else. Because of the resulting stress around GPA and grades, Princeton scores a place in sixth for overall campus happiness. Quality of academics: As was previously mentioned, the quality of academics between Yale and Princeton is extremely comparable, from resources offered to general prestige. Because differentiating between the two is arbitrarily difficult, we have given both universities second place for standard of education. Job prospects: Princeton career prospects are rivaled by few, with an impressive early-career earning average of $72,200. We have ranked it fourth for this category, placing it after Yale due to students’ lower average GPA.
