<p>I mean no dis-respect for any Ivies capabilities, or anyone attending an Ivy- I was just wondering IN GENERAL: What is each Ivy's speciality- IE: What is their strongest point? Like... IDK if this even applies- although I guess from word of mouth I have.. for example Harvard's Law program is comparatively better then the other ivies' law programs. Like that, for example. If the categories can't be simplified to one specific Ivy, What ivies are the best at which major? If that can't be done- I'm sorry for the waste. :)</p>
<p>No, this is a valid question, and it's a good thing you're asking it! A lot of people group the Ivies together even though the schools are vastly different.
Sorry I can't answer your question...all I can tell you is that Cornell is known for its engineering and Yale for its political science (Yale has tons of other exceptional departments as well, and other Ivies are known for excellent poli sci, too.)</p>
<p>Penn=Wharton Business
Harvard and Yale=Law</p>
<p>Brown: Liberal Arts</p>
<p>Columbia: Law, Business, Education, All around Arts and Sciences </p>
<p>Cornell: Engineering, All Around Natural Sciences, Agriculture, Architecture, Hospitality</p>
<p>Dartmouth: Liberal Arts, Business</p>
<p>Harvard: Law, Business, Medicine, Government, Education, All around Arts and Sciences </p>
<p>Penn: Law, Business, Medicine, Education, Nursing, Social Sciences, Biological Sciences/Engineering</p>
<p>Princeton: All around Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Public Affairs</p>
<p>Yale: Law, Medicine, Hummanities, Social Sciences, Biological Sciences</p>
<p>Thanks a BUNCH! This really helps me thinking of what colleges i'd apply to.. I really appreciate it
What about: Stanford, UCs, UChicago, Duke?</p>
<p>" for example Harvard's Law program is comparatively better then the other ivies' law programs."</p>
<p>not all of the ivies have a law school</p>
<p>I meant just as an example, like the format I was hoping to see</p>
<p>Actually, for law, Yale is 1, Stanford is 2, and Harvard is 3.</p>

Actually, that list is heavy on graduate programs. You'll have to look deeper for undergrad.</p>
<p>Yes, I agree with Aurelius. Take all this advice with a grain of salt. Keep doing your research. Talk to students at these colleges (admissions offices are usually very helpful in getting you in touch with students) and ask them about the specific departments you're interested in. Remember, graduate program prowess doesn't translate to strong undergraduate programs. And remember, small colleges (liberal arts colleges) can be just as selective or more selective than Ivies, and they offer more of a focus on undergrads, meaning that even though their departments may be less well known, you'd still get a better, more individualized education there. (To its credit, Princeton is very focused on undergrads and Yale has a good undergrad focus too, though Princeton wins this battle.)
so there are no hard and fast rankings.</p>
