Every Ivy League University Ranked 2026 | Acceptance rate & cost

All 8 Ivy League schools ranked for 2026 using the new U.S. News rankings: which Ivy is the best, which one is the easiest to get into, and what each one really costs. Princeton lost the overall #1 spot to MIT after fifteen years, Cornell gives you the best odds of any Ivy, and Harvard and Yale now charge $0 tuition if your family earns under $200K. U.S. News released its new Best National Universities rankings on September 22, 2026, and five of the eight Ivy League schools changed places. This year's list also measures what graduates actually earn, broken down by major. We put all eight Ivies in order using that list, then covered what matters when you apply: how hard each school is to get into, what a full year costs before aid, what undergrads actually do there, and which famous alumni studied there. Included Ivy league univeristy are: Brown University Cornell University Dartmouth College Columbia University University of Pennsylvania Yale University Harvard University Princeton University Columbia and Dartmouth tie. Columbia takes the higher spot here because its acceptance rate is lower. This video is for high school juniors and seniors building a college list, for students thinking about transferring, and for parents trying to work out what an Ivy will cost. It covers undergraduate programs only. Acceptance rates for the class of 2030 are school-reported figures or published estimates, and the costs are approximate full yearly sticker prices before financial aid.
