What is an Ivy Index Score?
✓ The Ivy Index Score measures a student’s academic achievement and personal qualities without considering colleges’ institutional priorities (e.g. donors, legacy, class size, sports recruits, etc.).
✓ Shows employers which colleges students are competitive for.
✓ Gives employers an additional way to differentiate candidates who are applying for internships or their first jobs.
