4 Factors to Consider Before Applying to Ivy League Schools

For many international students there is nothing more satisfying than when your family back home actually recognizes the name of the school that you fought so hard to get into. Big name colleges, such as those in the Ivy League, typically fit the bill.

But an Ivy League degree does not guarantee a comfortable post-undergraduate life in a towering New York office complete with a magnificent skyline view of Manhattan. No, it takes more than just an Ivy League degree to land your future dream job.
