Harvard, Princeton, and Yale—known as the “Big Three”—are historically the three toughest Ivy League schools to get into. In recent years, they have been joined by Columbia in the top half of the most selective Ivy League schools. In 2021, Columbia edged past Princeton to become the second-most competitive Ivy. While all four schools reported overall acceptance rates below 5%, with a 3.4% acceptance rate, Harvard continues to be the hardest Ivy League school to get into.

The remaining schools had overall acceptance rates ranging between 5.4% (Brown) and approximately 8.6% (Cornell), meaning that, for the first time, acceptance rates for all Ivy League schools were in the single digits. The average acceptance rate across all eight schools was approximately 5.3%.

Here is a list of the Ivy League schools in ascending order of overall selectivity:

Harvard (3.4%)
Columbia (3.7%)
Princeton (4.0%)
Yale (4.6%)
Brown (5.4%)
Penn (5.7%)
Dartmouth (6.2%)
Cornell (~8.6%)
Selectivity is highly associated with Ivy League rankings; that is, the highest-ranked schools tend to have the lowest acceptance rates.
