The Ivy League is comprised of some of the best and brightest minds in the world, but not everyone who attends the Ancient Eight is a pimple-faced, pocket-pocketing egghead. Some are actually attractive Hollywood celebrities.


In honor of this startling revelation, OTR presents a ranking of the Ivy League universities based on the number of hot celebrities that attended each school.

 

(DO) denotes they dropped out.


1. Columbia: Admittedly, it was a close race between the top two schools on the list, but ultimately, Columbia narrowly pulled ahead by marrying quality with quantity.
Notable Celebrities: Alicia Keys (DO), Jake Gyllenhaal (DO), Anna Paquin, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Julia Stiles, Amanda Peet, Famke Janssen, Matthew Fox, Jesse Bradford, Rider Strong, Casey Affleck, Katie Holmes (attended for a summer session), Lauren Graham and James Franco.

 

2. Harvard: Shocked that the nerdiest Ivy is second on the list? So are we.
Notable Celebrities: Rashida Jones, Tatyana Ali, Natalie Portman, Elisabeth Shue, Mira Sorvino, Matt Damon (DO), Traci Bingham (dropped out for Baywatch), B.J. Novak and Conan O’Brien (the pompadour is hot).

 

3. Yale: In a distant third comes New Haven’s own Ivy League school with a handful of attractive celebrity attendees.
Notable Celebrities: Shia Labeouf (DO), Jordana Brewster, Jennifer Connelly, Edward Norton, young Meryl Streep and Claire Danes.

 

4. Princeton: While the celebrities of Princeton are admittedly drop-dead gorgeous, they’re mostly men, so the school was docked for lack of variety.
Notable Celebrities: Brooke Shields, Wentworth Miller, Dean Cain and David Duchovny.

 

5. University of Pennsylvania: Yes – I know. You’d expect a business-focused school to attract nothing but greasy Wall Street types, but as it turns out, that’s simply not the case.
Notable Celebrities: Elizabeth Banks, John Legend, Maury Povich (OK -- not hot, but who doesn’t love him?) and Ivanka Trump

 

6. Cornell: From here on out, the hotness level takes a sharp nosedive. You’ve been warned.
Notable Celebrities: Bill Nye the Science Guy (admit it – you all had a crush on him), Christopher Reeve, Bill Maher and Jimmy Smits.

 

7. Dartmouth: People often forget that this school is even in the Ivy League, and now, you know why.
Notable Celebrities: Rachel Dratch (sort of hot – right?!), young Meryl Streep (a repeat, because she was an exchange student) and Prison Breaks’ Sarah Wayne Callies.

 

8. Brown: Nobody hot – let alone a celebrity – has ever gone to this school. Just kidding – sorta!
The only notable celebrity is Leelee Sobieski, and she dropped out!
