"Ivy"

[Anonymous]

I don't get why people use "Ivy" to mean highly selective college in a general sense on this board. Is anyone really going to Dartmouth, Cornell or Brown over MIT or Stanford? No. "Ivy" refers to the athletic conference. Not sure why it keeps being used in this weird way.

So glad you got that off your chest.

Why do you think everyone would choose Stanford or MIT over the others? They are all excellent. Are you all about rankings and cocktail party prestige over fit?

What kind of stupid post is this?

There are countless kids who are attending Dartmouth or Brown over MIT or Stanford. I have one.

Thank you.
There are idiots on here now. It’s a sign we might want to let them fester in their own nonsense and misinformation.

Countless you say? And you know of one?

All of these posts are beyond stupid. Kids make choices to attend any number of selective colleges over other selective colleges every year - of course they do! Main reasons are money (the biggest), location, legacy, major - and legions more. Rankings are not remotely the most important factor for most people.

That is such a dumb term. Ivies and similar elite privates are not that different from each other as far as the students they take

I have one as well. Didn’t want to go to school on the West Coast, didn’t want to go to a tech school. Really not that complicated

So do I.

My favorite Ivy is Dartmouth by a long mile. Don’t care where it’s “ranked” amongst the Ivies.

+1 also to the "lower ivy" people, some kids also have no interest in HYP. Shocking I know, people have different preferences.
