<p>Hello all. I am having a hard time distinguishing the strengths between the top universities. I understand that all Ivies, Stanford, UChicago, etc. have great academics, but what sets these schools apart? What makes them different and unique?</p>
<p>Far too many things separate them. Sports, social life, geography, selectivity, just to name a few. Read the entries of all those schools in any reputable college guide (e.g. Princeton Review) instead of asking such a broad question.</p>
<p>Sorry, I should’ve clarified. I meant academically unique/different.</p>
