Brown vs Dartmouth vs UPenn

Overall? none…

…and there are easily 50 other colleges and universities who are not in that particular sports league that are at least as good in “Humanities & Social Sciences” as any of those 3, and for any particular aspect of H&SS there are ones that are better.

For example, if you are looking at International Relations, I would look at Georgetown, JHU and Tufts before I would look at any of those 3. If you are looking at Creative Writing I would look at UIa, NU, Kenyon or Emory before Dartmouth or Brown. If I wanted a strong Core curriculum across the Humanities I would look at Columbia or UChic before Brown. And so on.

If you are thinking that these schools are the “easier” way to get the “Ivy” label please re-think the whole thing.
