I would mostly agree. BYU is consistently ranked in the 60's and 70's in...
national university rankings. BYU has some very good, very highly ranked undergraduate programs, but, overall it's really not comparable to any of the Ivy League schools.

That said, I don't think there is a better education to be found in the world for the price that BYU students pay. BYU is an incredible value.

BYU is nowhere close to the quality of an Ivy League School

+1,000,000. I went to an Ivy for grad school and badly regret the debt load.

BYU doesn't have many grad students and post-docs in the first place
