New Ivies

[Anonymous]

This article is dated, but it’s interesting because it highlights both national universities and liberal arts schools, provides typical application overlaps, and highlights some schools I was less familiar with until reading DCUM, like Davidson.

Ivy League is a league of schools. That is the end of it. Classifying other schools as "Ivys" is just plain dumb.

Kenyon, Skidmore, RPI? Come TF on.

What was wrong with the old ones? We always just go to Yale.

Ivy League started as an sports league and morphed into a marketing tool. Look beyond that and you will find great schools not in that sports league.

Calling these schools “New Ivies” may be good marketing for Newsweek but I’m not sure it’s good marketing for the schools themselves. The Ivies have a lot of prestige but also their own baggage.

And there are already valid research studies showing the “plus” schools (Stanford Duke UChicago MiT) that provide the upper-tier grad school and career outcomes boost that the ivies do. Beyond this group, data does not indicate other non-ivy schools provide a definitive edge.

What a time capsule! Look at those application numbers and admission rates. UCLA is crazy: "UCLA this past year received a record 47,307 applications; 12,221 got in."

It’s all marketing and creating a stupid, useless frenzy to get into an Ivy. since they can’t get in, they are creating other Ivys. There is only one Ivy League. It was for sports.

It’s all about s creating prestige to make parents feel better. My friend told me her son got into a Little Ivy and I was like WTF? It was Carleton. Then, she called it the Harvard of the Midwest. There is only one Harvard dumbass. What a snob trying make herself feel superior. I had never heard of Carleton before. It’s a good school. She can be proud but she didn’t need to create this air about the school.
