It is much harder to get into than the 11%.

^from the top 10 non-Ivy

They're in the second group

Their International Relations program is in the first group. It’s #1 in that field.

I mean, Dakota State is top in cybersecurity. Still not a top 25.

You are an idiot. Georgetown has long been considered in the same breath as the other top non-ivies--Duke, JHU, etc. We know there is a poster on here who starts entire threads bashing it every chance they get.

No, there isn't. grow up

There actually is. Pay attention.

GDS is by far the best non-Ivy.

It’s Ivy so not in list

Funny thing is, if it were not in the Ivy Athletic Conference, it still wouldn't be on the list.

Did I miss any worthy top 20 Non-Ivy League Schools?

Pomona is a close call. Amherst, Williams, and Swarthmore are the only LACs USNWR has ever ranked #1 multiple times and none has ever been lower than 4 (Pomona has been 7 and 8 at different points though it has been on the rise, especially since it is the best western LAC).

I'd add a group 0 at the top that is just Harvard and Stanford. Their undergrad and grad programs are excellent in pretty much every department and school, which isn't the case with even Yale and MIT.

Group 1 should just be Yale, MIT, Princeton, and Caltech. Move the rest of group 1 to group 2.

I agree Duke, Chicago, Hopkins, Northwestern and Penn don't belong in the top group. They are great but there is a bit of a gap.
I agree with adding Swarthmore to 2 as well. I also think Smith, another excellent 7 Sisters women's college with a fabulous alumni network and big endowment, should be in 3 (yes, below Wellesley but above Barnard).

Barnard seems out of place. Isn’t it ranked #18 in the SLAC list? Like the equivalent of Colgate or something?
