Hi, Crimson Education, Indonesian here, would you mind giving me the information about Top 10 Environmental Studies/Sciences schools in USA or you should probably make one on another video, many thanks for your help, highly appreciated☺️😊
He seemed to have weather as a dominating factor in this list. It was the only distinction he made when declaring CalTech #2. MIT is definitely superior to CalTech and is more widely known to be the top engineering school, so if it weren't for weather, I'm sure he would have switched MIT with CalTech.
JMikel213 the fact that Einstein lectures there ages ago should not effect the ranking. They have very similar rankings, reputation and difficulty of courses. They should be a lot closer together.
ProSoc10 it definitely depends on the subject. Besides, overall, MIT has a much higher ranking than Caltech. Also the standard of teaching is lower at Caltech. They are both really good schools anyways and my point is that they should not have such a difference in ranking in the video.
If y'all ever watch the Big Bang Theory, Howard is just a MIT master, while the rest of them are researchers in CalTech. (Leonard's PhD from Princeton I believe.) And, they made fun of Howard about it all the time. That says all. lol
I think people need to realize that it’s hard for them to choose 10 schools to compare since comparing a school like Berkeley is completely different to a school like Amherst. Both great schools, but size and variety of major make them super different. There are so many colleges that deserve to be on this list, and honestly there should just be a video titled TOP 10 PUBLIC SCHOOLS and TOP 10 LIBERAL ART SCHOOLS or PRIVATE SCHOOLS to compare schools on a more equal level.
I agree, and would add it depends on what you're majoring in. Berkeley is head and shoulders above other school in the math and sciences dept. Not every school is great in every area, and that's not even taking into account post grad areas of study....like Law, or Medicine. The University of Virginia comes to mind for Law.
You are so correct. Also, what matters is student satisfaction. If kids aren't happy at Berkley (and I've known a few) who cares? It's all about grad school in most cases anyway.
Colleges and universities should be compared by major/group of majors: top 10 colleges and universities in computer science, engineering, pre-med, etc.
My mom tooks her master at Berkeley before the 21st she was declared a for 4-points standards norm for Ivy league standards . Any school that accept that 4-points standards is an a ivy league.
For reference, U of M Ann Arbor is well known in my area of Michigan for being very tough to get into as a freshman but much less difficult to get into when you transfer, especially out of another lower ranked U of M campus. I’m not 100% sure if that’s intentional on the school’s part, but if someone gets into the Ann Arbor campus as a freshman, it’s considered a huge deal.
I find Michigan more accessible than people think, especially for graduate studies. A family friend of mine settled near Detroit when he immigrated here and went to Dearborn then Ann Arbor. He’s a die-hard Wolverine and doesn’t care about prestige. His kids are going the same route. A lot of Penn State late bloomers start at a regional campus and finish at State College. Sometimes being a local is the only thing you need to get into these schools, at least in post-grad life. The admissions office will understand.
UC Berkeley is actually very easy to get into compared to the others on this list if you transfer from a California Community College. I just had a 3.71 GPA during community college and didn't participate in any clubs and got accepted into UC Berkeley for the upcoming fall. It's a real-life cheat code.
It’s because it’s the only public school on the list. But 22 percent acceptance rate (transfer) is by no means easy. You must’ve had something they were looking for, or you wrote a pretty bomb essay.
I got into Northwestern and this video really warms my heart since a lot of people in my country don’t really understand how great it is. Failed to get into Stanford btw. I am not really into advertising but this channel helped me a lot in my application/decision process. Thank you and your team!!!
Simply put. The best university or college is the one that works for the individual. I went to N.C. State University and cannot imagine getting a better education in Engineering. I had 3 job offers before I graduated including one in Research Triangle Park, which is very competitive. I later went to a private law school and it was just much more expensive than a state school. I probably paid double the cost of going to UNC law school for the same education. The most important thing is work ethic. Second is the major you study. Third and least important is the school you attend.
Yes...and no. The differences in a school like N.C. State and, say, Stanford are pretty stark. Not only does Stanford have vastly more resources to supplement your education, but the proximity to STEM jobs immediately after graduation and the positives with student networking at Stanford are two of its most valuable aspects. I agree that any competent and gifted student at NC State will do well. However, you'll have many more opportunities for success AT schools like Stanford and AFTER you graduate. Your first two points (i.e., work ethic and major) are givens at such schools because of just how selective they are. You simply won't find mediocre students on campus. As the old proverb goes, "Iron sharpens iron." So, you'll find yourself rubbing shoulders with many of the nation's top students. Moreover, the tangibles and intangibles at such top schools are often more difficult to grasp at lower ranked public or private universities (particularly those with smaller endowments and proximity a bit further outside of areas with more research jobs in particular fields). While the 'research triangle' exists in North Carolina, it's a bit smaller in total jobs and opportunities compared with Stanford's proximity to the Silicon Valley or Harvard's and MIT's proximity to Boston-Cambridge.
Rice, WashU, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame... These beat out some on the list in my opinion. Obviously schools like caltech and Berkeley make the list because of their intellectual reputation, but social/campus life should have a bearing on the ranking as well.
I think this is just based on academics, not any social factors. I think academically the colleges you listed are just a notch below the ones listed here. Notre Dame probably way below...
At the start of this freshman year in high school I set one goal in my mind. I am going to Stanford and nobody can stop me. Come back to this comment in 4 years.
Lol as a senior applying to a metric shitton of schools, here's my advice for a 4year game plan for stanford- 1) have an astronomical Gpa- take every AP IB class you can find. 2) 1500 SAT and 34 ACT minimum 3) at least three SAT subject tests with 730 minimum in each 4) start something. Because president of something else. Start another thing. 5) impress teachers NOW. their rec letters matter more than you think. 6) if you're a STEM kid, do a crap ton of research, get into competitions and WIN at them. Publish a paper before December of senior year. 7) if not a STEM kid then become varsity in a sport or a nationally recognized writer or artist or whatever you're into. Simply doing it won't be enough. You'll need to be the best. 8) when the time comes to write you essays, start early and write and revise and wrote and revise and write and revise x1000. Good luck.
what's not talked about enough is how at some of these schools, the acceptance rate is higher if you're transferring from another school that's less competitive (or expensive). University of Michigan's regular acceptance rate is 23% while it's transfer acceptance rate is 39%... just some potentially useful information for anyone looking into colleges right now there's no shame in going to a local institution for your first two years. I'm in community college now but I'm active in my school clubs and organizations, have a high GPA, and have been making connections and I plan on applying to Michigan and some other somewhat selective schools (Emerson College, Trinity College Hartford to name a few). I would not have even been considered with my high school GPA but I've improved tremendously during my time in college which colleges care about the most. sorry this was longer than I expected it to be, but just a helpful tip!
You are right. I graduated from the university that initially rejected me, lol. I attended a small college for my freshman year, performed well, and then transferred out (even got a scholarship).
Same thing with all the Florida Universities, especially University of Florida. Some of the acceptance rates look high but I believe all of the universities have a high acceptance rates for CC transfers. Their freshman rates are much lower. I went to a CC to save money.
Percent admitted is not a measure of selectivity; it is a function of number of applicants and predicted yield rate. A real measure of selectivity is what it takes to get in -- stats, extracurriculars, legacy points, etc.
JHU no longer has an option for freshmen to take their classes Pass/Fail. The covered grade system was terminated last year (2017). Unfortunately, I was entering Hopkins as a freshman in 2017... :/
Part of the reason Georgetown is selective has to do with building ordinances. The real estate to a small area with no room for expansion. You can't build vertical because of its location along the Potomac River with FAA-security measures at DCA.
The thing is "Ivy League" is just a historical term for the sport league of the old NorthEastern schools. It doesn't mean quality. Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell and UofPenn are not better than those mentioned in the video. Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, University of Michigan, University of Virginia, UT Austin, Chicago..etc kick the ivys I mentioned above.
Ur wild. UPenn and Cornell are professional schools. None of these schools kick them in anything and perhaps Stanford Berkeley have better sciences but neither are known for being science schools. If you want a career in law, business, or finance anyone with half a brain would pick Penn and Cornell over any of those schools. Wharton alone crushes any of these schools in alumni and post grad payoff
How can you rank MIT 9 and Caltech 2? Why are you basing your ranking so highly on selectivity? That metric is so less telling than career success. MIT should at least be ranked in top 3, especially because it is ranked the top university in the world by QS.
BigNickPoodle You are right to question this but your hypothesis you posed is flawed. MIT has slightly lower acceptance rate than Caltech, so MIT is actually MORE selective.
Tbh I have no idea what the relative career successes of Caltech and MIT are, but while Caltech is suffocatingly small MIT has a larger student population so I am sure MIT by sheer numbers also has better "career success" than Caltech. This gives MIT a good reason to be ranked higher.
How about top 10 highest earning grads 10. Colorado School of Mines 9. Carnegie Mellon University 8. United States Air Force Academy 7. Stanford University 6. United States Naval Academy 5. United States Military Academy 4. United States Merchant Marine 3. California Institute of Technology 2. Massachusetts Institute of Technology 1. Harvey Mudd College
@@kevinbergin9971 I believe that list is average mid-career salaries. Many service academy grads choose civilian careers after their active duty commitment, but even during that commitment, five years at $40k+ with room & board comp'd and zero college debt.
depends on the degree - Tech students coming out of UCLA, Standford, UC Berkely, UW, USC are making double/triple (in their mid twenties) what a mid-career Harvey Mudd grad makes - Facts
NOTRE DAME, Emory, Vanderbilt, Pomona College, Wesleyan, Swarthmore, USC, WashU, Amherst, Barnard, Boston U, Bowdoin, Carleton, Claremont McKenna, Colgate, Davison, Denison, Grinnell, Mcalester, Rice, Oberlin, Tufts, and even Middlebury or Kalamazoo for privates Public you got to have University of Virginia, some of the UCs, UNC Chapel Hill, University of Florida, Georgia, Texas at Austin, William and Mary, and hopefully Wisconsin Madison apart from the ones listed
Honorable members not in order: University of California, Los Angeles Vanderbilt University Washington University at St. Louis The University of Washington University University of California, San Diego University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill The University of Texas at Austin University of Southern California Purdue University Carnegie Mellon University Case Western Reserve University Emory University University of Rochester University of Virginia Georgetown University Boston College University of Notre Dame New York University University of Wisconsin - Madison Georgia Tech Virginia Tech Penn State University ( my school )
For me, an American, I really enjoy French so I intend to apply next year to Concordia university and McGill university in Montreal. McGill often ranks higher than some and is less selective than most Ivy League schools
Ultimately what is the best school for you and your interest. For engineering majors don't overlook Illinois/Urbana. Many of these Ivy league schools or near Ivy are pressure cookers. Balance and enjoying this period of your life is very important as well.
1. Stanford 2.MIT 3 . Duke 4. University of Michigan 5 . Johns Hopkins 6. University of Chicago 7. UC Berkeley 8. Caltech 9. Ucla 10. Georgia institute of technology
This list is good. People here need to relax. The US has dozens of exceptional colleges and universities. Picking just 10 is bound to be controversial. The 10 on this list are legitimate, but one can easily add and remove schools from this list without compromising the list.
Primarily because of private university tuitions. Unless you're rich, you'll need a scholarship or you'll go into serious debt. Schools are less likely to accept you knowing you will need a scholarship or you'll go broke.
This ranking couldn't be any worse. It goes #1 Stanford #2 MIT #3 UChicago #4 CalTech #5 UC Berkeley #6 Duke #7 Johns Hopkins #8 Northwestern #9 UCLA #10 Williams
The College of William and Mary should definitely be on the list, and I'm not just saying that because it's my Alma Mater, it's the reason I CHOSE it as my Alma Mater. I beat out grads from quite a few schools on this list for my current position, and I became a high middle class homeowner by the age of 25. My alma mater was 75 % of my resume, got me one and a half foot in many doors. It is the quintessential Non-Ivy Ivy. Yes, at 37% it has a higher acceptance rate than most on this list, aside from Michigan, but that's because few students with less than a 4.0 GPA waste their time applying. It also has the highest graduation rate of any college in Virginia by far, because again, you don't get accepted there by simply winging it in High School. A common misconception is that a school with a very high graduation rate must be easy and a school with a very low graduation rate must be hard. But it's not like the Navy Seal training drop out rate, just the opposite. Some of the best colleges have high graduation rates because it's the hardest workers who get accepted in the first place. Hardest workers should be stressed over bright minds, because any person of average intelligence can become highly successful if they put their mind to it from day one.
💯W&M! My son goes there! Really smart, academically driven and kind student population. The school has been voted having the happiest students many times. Top notch professors too. Gorgeous campus. All around top notch school. Also known as one of 8 public ivies. 😜
Selectivity is determined by how many people apply. If they have a freshman class cap of 3000 and 50000 apply thats an acceptance rate of 6%. The less apply the higher the rate even though the same caliber of students are accepted.
In most states outside the northeast, usually that state university is the oldest and most distinguished institution in the state. In the New England and the Middle Atlantic States this is not the case because of the presence of distinguished private institutions dating back to the 18th Century (i.e, the Ivy League) . URI, SUNY campuses, UMass, UNH, Rutgers, Penn State and UCONN might therefore be called the _ _ _S _N Ivy League
As of October 2023, 101 Nobel laureates,[10] 26 Turing Award winners, and 8 Fields Medalists have been affiliated with MIT as alumni, faculty members, or researchers.[11] In addition, 58 National Medal of Science recipients, 29 National Medals of Technology and Innovation recipients, 50 MacArthur Fellows,[12] 83 Marshall Scholars,[13] 41 astronauts,[14] 16 Chief Scientists of the US Air Force, and 1 foreign head of state have been affiliated with MIT. The institute also has a strong entrepreneurial culture and MIT alumni have founded or co-founded many notable companies.
Very good choices, but there are other distinguished schools that are Ivy-League caliber. These include Rice, Vanderbilt, Tufts, Univ. of Virginia, Rockefeller, Emory, UCLA, UNC - Chapel Hill, Georgia Tech, Washington - St. Louis, UW - Madison, and UIUC (to name a few). Quite surprised to see Williams on the list. It certainly is an outstanding school, but it caters exclusively to undergrads; all the others have graduate and professional programs.
most of these were my dream schools but I had a couple that was not on the list. I also dreamed of several religious-affiliated schools. Here was my personal dream list not in any particular order 1) University of Notre Damn 2) Baylor University 3) Liberty University-Current School 4) UC Davis 5) UC Irvine 6) Stanford University 7) Johns Hopkins University 8) MIT 9) CSU Fullerton 10) Chapman University
Of the list above, unless you’re published or have done original research, no matter if you have a 4.5 gpa, remove Stanford and JHU. Notre Dame is terrific! But are you Catholic? Makes a huge difference. The rest are wonderful schools that want student success. Good luck!
I wish someone would explain to students (and parents, and the world) the IVY League is a SPORTS LEAGUE!! Not an academic league. it just so happens to be an extremely old sports league so the schools that are part of the 'ivy league' are really old schools.
Top 10 reasons I don’t care about Ivy Leagues 10: Can do just as well with a regular college 9: Can do just as well with a regular college 8: Can do just as well with a regular college 7: Can do just as well with a regular college 6: Can do just as well with a regular college 5: Can do just as well with a regular college 4: Can do just as well with a regular college 3: Can do just as well with a regular college 2: Can do just as well with a regular college 1: Can do just as well with a regular college
Frankly, Your Bottoms Up, one reason the Ivy League is so highly ranked is their endowments and the financial aid picture they can provide. How did you do when you got out of that "regular college" paying back those loans?
Personally I'd also say that all of the public ivies are a pretty good way to attend an ivy league type school of sorts, but they're still all public schools. So if you live in a state with one of those public ivies, your chances of getting in go up if you apply and you have to pay less to go. They mentioned a few in this video but there's also other public ivies.
My list (non-exhaustive): UChicago WashU (most) Big Ten universities Stanford Notre Dame MIT Caltech tons of LACs (across the nation, in every region; could be secular or religious LACs) conservatories like Peabody, Eastman and Curtis (if we put Julliard as the most popular) the California public university system Deep Springs College (2-year college) Underrated engineering schools in the Midwest (often overlooked for Big Ten unis): IIT Michigan Tech Rose Hulman Not necessarily "top", but "good" to "decent" nonetheless: SEC universities regional universities that have a direction in their name like Eastern, Wester, Southern (smaller classes, more intimate-professional relationship w/ professors, cheaper tuition) The beauty about the higher education landscape in the US is its diversity of options not replicated anywhere in the world. It's wide and deep, where there's a school for everyone, no matter if they're the traditional student or non-traditional student going back to school after 20 years of being in the workforce.
@@ecneb not sure about that, that university is ranked top three in almost every subject. The periodic table is named after it coz it was discovered there, for F’s sake. It invented the atomic bomb, and an engine of Silicon Valley.
@@halea41 That's all impressive stuff, but what about some clown like Khiara M. Bridges being a law professor there? Watch the TH-cam video of her exchange with Senator Josh Hawley to see what I mean. (Certainly it would seem that the glory days of Clark Kerr are long gone if the standards would permit her on the payroll, no? She's the one with the nose ring, BTW.)
some tough calls here. M over UCLA? Williams but not Amherst? at least you included one of them... I also would have gone with Williams because of its commitment to collegiate athletics.
I had a perfect SAT score (2400) coming out of H.S. in '75 and applied and was accepted to Cornell, Harvard and Yale. I was leaning toward Cornell's College of Engineering but then Georgia Tech accepted me into their College of Engineering, so I jumped a that (a Ph.D. Aerospace/Computer Engineer who recently retired from a large American defense contractor's Missile Systems company.
1. Mit 2. Caltech 3. Stanford 4. UC Berkeley 5. Georgia Institute of Technology 6. Carnegie Mellon 7. JOHN HOPKINS 8. DUKE 9. A&M 10. UCLA That should be the order at least from the perspective of a STEM graduate.
JungEileen it’s only ranked poorly because it’s very focused in engineering and a bit in business. It’s been known recently as the undisputed number 1 in cs. It’s other programs like English is not that good. You don’t hear people going to MIT for biology.
JungEileen JungEileen in this digitally absorbing era CS is becoming prevalent in fields that no one would’ve imagined. These days it’s important for many students to learn it even if it’s not their major. I know a good amount of MIT alumni who consider CMU as a top tier school and even agree it surpasses them in CS. I mean if you believe Berkeley should be included (rank 22) might as well include CMU (rank 25) Average test scores might be lower because of its lesser programs like English and biology.
What is the point in all these rankings when it is all down to the student dedication and hard work no matter which college he or she is attending? Apple CEO, Time Cook is a graduate from Auburn University which is ranked 97 by US News. Walmart CEO, Doug McMillon is a graduate from University of Tulsa which is ranked 143. Randall Stephenson, former CEO of AT&T is graduate from University of Central Oklahoma which is ranked 68th amongst all colleges in the Southern states. The list is endless.

It's also featured in the Iron Man comic books, since that's where Tony Stark supposedly graduated from at 17.

Lol as a senior applying to a metric shitton of schools, here's my advice for a 4year game plan for stanford- 1) have an astronomical Gpa- take every AP IB class you can find. 2) 1500 SAT and 34 ACT minimum 3) at least three SAT subject tests with 730 minimum in each 4) start something. Because president of something else. Start another thing. 5) impress teachers NOW. their rec letters matter more than you think. 6) if you're a STEM kid, do a crap ton of research, get into competitions and WIN at them. Publish a paper before December of senior year. 7) if not a STEM kid then become varsity in a sport or a nationally recognized writer or artist or whatever you're into. Simply doing it won't be enough. You'll need to be the best. 8) when the time comes to write you essays, start early and write and revise and wrote and revise and write and revise x1000. Good luck.

@@felixliang7558 it is great but surely not ahead of MIT or Caltech...
Garbage list…
what's not talked about enough is how at some of these schools, the acceptance rate is higher if you're transferring from another school that's less competitive (or expensive). University of Michigan's regular acceptance rate is 23% while it's transfer acceptance rate is 39%... just some potentially useful information for anyone looking into colleges right now there's no shame in going to a local institution for your first two years. I'm in community college now but I'm active in my school clubs and organizations, have a high GPA, and have been making connections and I plan on applying to Michigan and some other somewhat selective schools (Emerson College, Trinity College Hartford to name a few). I would not have even been considered with my high school GPA but I've improved tremendously during my time in college which colleges care about the most.
sorry this was longer than I expected it to be, but just a helpful tip!
You are right. I graduated from the university that initially rejected me, lol. I attended a small college for my freshman year, performed well, and then transferred out (even got a scholarship).
Same thing with all the Florida Universities, especially University of Florida. Some of the acceptance rates look high but I believe all of the universities have a high acceptance rates for CC transfers. Their freshman rates are much lower. I went to a CC to save money.
You have a great strategy!.
Why should acceptance rate be talked about? It’s not a measure of prestige, but of exclusivity and elitism.
Percent admitted is not a measure of selectivity; it is a function of number of applicants and predicted yield rate. A real measure of selectivity is what it takes to get in -- stats, extracurriculars, legacy points, etc.
Can someone please inform this man that schools in Boston experience other weather besides snow and cold. There are 4 seasons for a reason
Kwaku Nyarko Too bad that doesnt happen in Boston...
Of course you go home for the Summer.
You put Berkeley and Michigan In here over Vanderbilt? Or wash u in St. Louis? Emory? Georgetown? Notre Dame? Rice?
You should look up Berkeley's rankings by individual departments and you would understand why
Berkeley is one of the best in the world so...
JT Jones lmao Michigan is a powerhouse in rankings.
Of course Berkeley is better than Vanderbilt and Georgetown. For the note, I got into all. Lmao
Michigan is top in their engineering and CS departments
JHU no longer has an option for freshmen to take their classes Pass/Fail. The covered grade system was terminated last year (2017). Unfortunately, I was entering Hopkins as a freshman in 2017... :/
Extremely surprised Georgetown, Emory, Notre Dame, or even Vanderbilt didn't make it
notre dame is not even close to georgetown
and nyu
Part of the reason Georgetown is selective has to do with building ordinances. The real estate to a small area with no room for expansion. You can't build vertical because of its location along the Potomac River with FAA-security measures at DCA.
@@gstodamire Notre dame is ranked higher than Georgetown though?
@@dchang11 This s not true at all.
Vanderbilt should’ve been on here
Elliott Bright ikr
Elliott Bright Agreed!
Rice University also.
Of course Vanderbilt
Yea
The thing is "Ivy League" is just a historical term for the sport league of the old NorthEastern schools. It doesn't mean quality. Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell and UofPenn are not better than those mentioned in the video. Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, University of Michigan, University of Virginia, UT Austin, Chicago..etc kick the ivys I mentioned above.
Ur wild. UPenn and Cornell are professional schools. None of these schools kick them in anything and perhaps Stanford Berkeley have better sciences but neither are known for being science schools. If you want a career in law, business, or finance anyone with half a brain would pick Penn and Cornell over any of those schools. Wharton alone crushes any of these schools in alumni and post grad payoff
How can you rank MIT 9 and Caltech 2? Why are you basing your ranking so highly on selectivity? That metric is so less telling than career success. MIT should at least be ranked in top 3, especially because it is ranked the top university in the world by QS.
BigNickPoodle You are right to question this but your hypothesis you posed is flawed. MIT has slightly lower acceptance rate than Caltech, so MIT is actually MORE selective.
Tbh I have no idea what the relative career successes of Caltech and MIT are, but while Caltech is suffocatingly small MIT has a larger student population so I am sure MIT by sheer numbers also has better "career success" than Caltech. This gives MIT a good reason to be ranked higher.
BigNickPoodle By your logic, then the rankings would be baised towards bigger schools right? Which would be unfair.
TheRealReal Yes, I guess that’s true. I also am not a fan of super small schools.
Agree! MIT should have been way up in the list...

Ultimately what is the best school for you and your interest. For engineering majors don't overlook Illinois/Urbana. Many of these Ivy league schools or near Ivy are pressure cookers. Balance and enjoying this period of your life is very important as well.
Yeah a School that makes you feel Good is what is needed for a particular Person in Academics or School

Yashveer Bains lol true
Yashveer Bains Wish UVA was on this list.
I got into ucb
I'm aiming high I wanna go to university of Chicago it would be a dream come true
Primarily because of private university tuitions. Unless you're rich, you'll need a scholarship or you'll go into serious debt. Schools are less likely to accept you knowing you will need a scholarship or you'll go broke.
MIT is #1 in my heart
This ranking couldn't be any worse. It goes #1 Stanford #2 MIT #3 UChicago #4 CalTech #5 UC Berkeley #6 Duke #7 Johns Hopkins #8 Northwestern #9 UCLA #10 Williams
Vanderbilt anyone???
Stephen Morejon yes
Nope
I would also add any of those not mentioned that are mentioned in the books "Hidden Ivies" and "Public Ivies" and some of them were elite HBCU's
The College of William and Mary should definitely be on the list, and I'm not just saying that because it's my Alma Mater, it's the reason I CHOSE it as my Alma Mater. I beat out grads from quite a few schools on this list for my current position, and I became a high middle class homeowner by the age of 25. My alma mater was 75 % of my resume, got me one and a half foot in many doors. It is the quintessential Non-Ivy Ivy.
Yes, at 37% it has a higher acceptance rate than most on this list, aside from Michigan, but that's because few students with less than a 4.0 GPA waste their time applying. It also has the highest graduation rate of any college in Virginia by far, because again, you don't get accepted there by simply winging it in High School.
A common misconception is that a school with a very high graduation rate must be easy and a school with a very low graduation rate must be hard. But it's not like the Navy Seal training drop out rate, just the opposite. Some of the best colleges have high graduation rates because it's the hardest workers who get accepted in the first place. Hardest workers should be stressed over bright minds, because any person of average intelligence can become highly successful if they put their mind to it from day one.
💯W&M! My son goes there! Really smart, academically driven and kind student population. The school has been voted having the happiest students many times. Top notch professors too. Gorgeous campus. All around top notch school. Also known as one of 8 public ivies. 😜
Thomas Jefferson is appreciative of your endorsement!
I agree. William & Mary is a fantastic college
What a joke. William and Mary is certainly NOT among the top 10 colleges not in the Ivy League. This is nowhere close to accurate.
Selectivity is determined by how many people apply. If they have a freshman class cap of 3000 and 50000 apply thats an acceptance rate of 6%. The less apply the higher the rate even though the same caliber of students are accepted.

Quantum physics isnt a major
I guess don't agree with lists on TH-cam, but this is very good!!!!
Your comment makes absolutely no sense.
MIT at #9???
In most states outside the northeast, usually that state university is the oldest and most distinguished institution in the state. In the New England and the Middle Atlantic States this is not the case because of the presence of distinguished private institutions dating back to the 18th Century (i.e, the Ivy League) . URI, SUNY campuses, UMass, UNH, Rutgers, Penn State and UCONN might therefore be called the _ _ _S _N Ivy League
where's tufts?
LOL! Was that Syracuse University SHADE at the end of the Duke part! "trees and stuff not covered in snow"
Amherst and Pomona should’ve totally been on here too
oL LynX
Absolutely correct.
Swarthmore
yeah, Michigan is a good school but it really didn't belong on this list. Amherst should have made it over Michigan.
Somebody talk to me about Pomona. It costs a fortune but has no name recognition.
@@Breqz Claremont Colleges have name recognition where it actually matters-- job recruiters.
As of October 2023, 101 Nobel laureates,[10] 26 Turing Award winners, and 8 Fields Medalists have been affiliated with MIT as alumni, faculty members, or researchers.[11] In addition, 58 National Medal of Science recipients, 29 National Medals of Technology and Innovation recipients, 50 MacArthur Fellows,[12] 83 Marshall Scholars,[13] 41 astronauts,[14] 16 Chief Scientists of the US Air Force, and 1 foreign head of state have been affiliated with MIT. The institute also has a strong entrepreneurial culture and MIT alumni have founded or co-founded many notable companies.
I thought Rice was the Ivy of the South? No?
yeah, i live in houston and that’s what i hear too
Idk how UCLA and Vanderbilt were kicked out for Michigan or Williams but ok
Great video! Now do a top 10 about Med and public health schools in the U.S.
Very good choices, but there are other distinguished schools that are Ivy-League caliber. These include Rice, Vanderbilt, Tufts, Univ. of Virginia, Rockefeller, Emory, UCLA, UNC - Chapel Hill, Georgia Tech, Washington - St. Louis, UW - Madison, and UIUC (to name a few).
Quite surprised to see Williams on the list. It certainly is an outstanding school, but it caters exclusively to undergrads; all the others have graduate and professional programs.
As someone who is starting their PhD at UC Berkeley this fall, it was very nice seeing them in the top 3!
Went to two ivy league, wharton and hbs, but I have the greatest respect for non ivy like mit

This is a lie if UCLA not on it don’t believe everything you hear the guy who made this top 10 list probably never went to college…
most of these were my dream schools but I had a couple that was not on the list. I also dreamed of several religious-affiliated schools.
Here was my personal dream list not in any particular order
1) University of Notre Damn
2) Baylor University
3) Liberty University-Current School
4) UC Davis
5) UC Irvine
6) Stanford University
7) Johns Hopkins University
8) MIT
9) CSU Fullerton
10) Chapman University
Of the list above, unless you’re published or have done original research, no matter if you have a 4.5 gpa, remove Stanford and JHU. Notre Dame is terrific! But are you Catholic? Makes a huge difference. The rest are wonderful schools that want student success. Good luck!
Leaving Stanford off this list is mornic.
Great video thank you
I’m not upset that Amherst isn’t on this list, I’m upset that Williams made the list while Amherst didn’t.
There rest all Universities. Frankly, this is not the list of either Williams or Amherst.
My grandfather went to Michigan and John Hopkins
I wish someone would explain to students (and parents, and the world) the IVY League is a SPORTS LEAGUE!! Not an academic league. it just so happens to be an extremely old sports league so the schools that are part of the 'ivy league' are really old schools.
Some of these schools, like Dartmouth, Brown, and Columbia are riding the coattails of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and UPenn.
Great video!!!
Great video! Also, M.I.T was actually featured in Captain America: Civil War.
I’ve been invited to graduate school admissions events at two of the schools on this list.

Personally I'd also say that all of the public ivies are a pretty good way to attend an ivy league type school of sorts, but they're still all public schools. So if you live in a state with one of those public ivies, your chances of getting in go up if you apply and you have to pay less to go. They mentioned a few in this video but there's also other public ivies.

Stanford
Notre Dame
MIT
Caltech
tons of LACs (across the nation, in every region; could be secular or religious LACs)
conservatories like Peabody, Eastman and Curtis (if we put Julliard as the most popular)
the California public university system
Deep Springs College (2-year college)
Underrated engineering schools in the Midwest (often overlooked for Big Ten unis):
IIT
Michigan Tech
Rose Hulman
Not necessarily "top", but "good" to "decent" nonetheless:
SEC universities
regional universities that have a direction in their name like Eastern, Wester, Southern (smaller classes, more intimate-professional relationship w/ professors, cheaper tuition)
The beauty about the higher education landscape in the US is its diversity of options not replicated anywhere in the world. It's wide and deep, where there's a school for everyone, no matter if they're the traditional student or non-traditional student going back to school after 20 years of being in the workforce.
If you want to get into an ivy league, ability in creative thinking is key, along with having a drive to to succeed

JungEileen it’s only ranked poorly because it’s very focused in engineering and a bit in business. It’s been known recently as the undisputed number 1 in cs. It’s other programs like English is not that good. You don’t hear people going to MIT for biology.
JungEileen JungEileen in this digitally absorbing era CS is becoming prevalent in fields that no one would’ve imagined. These days it’s important for many students to learn it even if it’s not their major. I know a good amount of MIT alumni who consider CMU as a top tier school and even agree it surpasses them in CS.
I mean if you believe Berkeley should be included (rank 22) might as well include CMU (rank 25)
Average test scores might be lower because of its lesser programs like English and biology.
