@calidad2020 " NESCAC is only real competition top to bottom. UAA a close second"

For pure academics, I agree. NESCAC and UAA schools do a great job of academics and tend to be great places for students going to grad school.

Academics and direct grad school placement

  1. Ivy League
  2. NESCAC
  3. UAA
  4. Patriot League

Patriot League schools however tend to excel at practical majors for students and placing students who don’t plan to go to grad school right away into solid jobs with good salaries. As a league, only the Ivies do that better.
