[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try a collge which focuses on both like University of Rochester. It is one of the [b]"new Ivies."[/b][/quote] What does "new Ivies" mean?[/quote] It means nothing. Every few years a crop of schools becomes fashionable and becomes very competitive or maybe it was already. I know that Rochester is a very good school but the "new Ivies" thing is a way to try to make it something that it isn't The old school version was the "little 3"--Amherst, Williams and I can't remember the third. Most people haven't heard of that and many people don't even know what schools make up the 7 sisters. When I was young, the trendy "new Ivies" were Duke, Wake Forest, Rice, Wash U., McGill. Today I think Reed is a biggie and maybe Rochester too. The Ivies are the Ivies and that is that. There are quite a few schools that are generally considered better than some of the Ivies anyway (Berkeley, Stanford, UVa, Chicago, are just a few). [/quote]
