Ivy League is all the first-class universities in the United States, and it is also the university alliance that produces the most Rhodes scholars in the United States. Seven of the eight schools were established during the British colonial period.
These eight institutions include Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Princeton University, Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Brown University and Cornell University.

Second, the admission situation
Generally speaking, those who can go to these schools are students with good study, strong independent spirit and special skills. Generally speaking, students who apply for Ivy League universities in the United States have excellent SAT scores (commonly known as the American College Entrance Examination, the range is 2 100-2300).
At the same time, many students have won national and even international outstanding student awards, and the curriculum intensity of high school is among the best in the school, with various specialties and leadership abilities.
However, academic performance is not the only factor in the enrollment of these schools. Whether students have independent spirit and can adapt to the tense and stressful life of freshmen in school is also an important factor they should consider.
These schools adopt the principle of "only choosing the best students, regardless of family income", and the admissions office can fully enroll students according to its own situation, regardless of the ability of students' families to pay tuition fees.
The school's strong financial resources will make up for the shortcomings, thus benefiting outstanding children from many poor families. It is such strict admission principles and perfect funding policies that have ensured the prosperity of these prestigious schools for hundreds of years.
However, these eight Ivy League schools recruit no more than 80 students from China each year, including students from American and Singaporean high schools.
