@bambi0611, well, you can look back through this thread.
I used 4 metrics:
- Percentage entering elite professional schools (for MBA/JD/MD).
- Production of “American Leaders”, who are mostly leaders in business, government, and the arts.
- Percentage winning prestigious national student awards.
- Percentage getting PhDs.
The Ivies are all 25th or better in the first 2 “pre-professional” categories and 75th or better in the 2 “academic” categories.
