<p>Many people would go by the USNWR rankings. Which is stupid, obviously. At least the Ivies are in a group that doesn’t change.</p>
<p>As for Hunt’s point that the differences among the Ivies aren’t that great, I guess I agree and disagree. They are all old schools in the Northeast. They are all full of high-achieving students. But they each have unique attributes and campus cultures and strengths and weaknesses. I knew this even in the dark ages when I was applying to schools. So I can’t imagine now, with the information we have, that all eight schools would appeal to a student equally.</p>
