Well, since they are lumped together, for whatever reason, I think it’s a good question.

The Fiske Guide spends about 4 pages on each school. The Insider’s Guide spends about 3 pages on each. Princeton Review spends about 2 pages on each school and is available online. You get the picture.

CC is good for specific questions, but it should not replace basic research.

All 8 are in the Northeast, 7 of the 8 started as colonial colleges (Cornell being the exception), and all 8 are very selective.

Additionally, none of the Ivies offers merit aid.
