A very high acceptance.. I thought UCLA would be more selective.

It's probably 147 k applications not 47k

And probably 100K acceptance.. what an a$$ you are

You'll never be as good as an Ivy as long as you are imitating them.

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.

There are more such wtfs:

Hidden Ivies - 63 of America's Top Liberal Arts Colleges and Universities

Black Ivy League—A list of historically black colleges or universities that provide Ivy quality education in a predominantly black environment

Public Ivies—Group of public US universities thought to "provide an Ivy League collegiate experience at a public school price"

Southern Ivies—Complimentary use of "Ivy" to characterize excellent universities in the US South

Little Ivies—An unofficial group of small, academically competitive private liberal arts colleges in the Northeastern United States.

Jesuit Ivy—Use of "Ivy" to characterize Boston College and other prominent American Jesuit colleges

Seven Sisters (colleges)—Seven highly selective liberal arts colleges in the Northeastern United States that are historically women's colleges, intended as the educational equivalent to the (traditionally male) Ivy League colleges

DC Urban & Moms Ivies - List under preparation

So now… which colleges are in the public Ivies? Serious question.

Northeastern
Pennsylvania State University (University Park)
Rutgers University (New Brunswick, New Jersey)
State University of New York at Binghamton
University of Connecticut (Storrs)

Mid-Atlantic
College of William & Mary (Williamsburg, Virginia)
University of Delaware (Newark)
University of Maryland, College Park
University of Virginia (Charlottesville)

Western
University of Arizona (Tucson)
University of California, Berkeley
University of California, Davis
University of California, Irvine
University of California, Los Angeles
University of California, San Diego
University of California, Santa Barbara
University of Colorado Boulder
University of Washington (Seattle)

Great Lakes & Midwest
Indiana University Bloomington
Miami University (Oxford, Ohio)
Michigan State University (East Lansing)
Ohio State University (Columbus)
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
University of Iowa (Iowa City)
University of Michigan (Ann Arbor)
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities

What are your talking about? I am saying the listed number in the UCLA quote is wrong. Ucla received close to 150k applications last year.

There are the 8 REAL Ivies and everyone else.

That's why there's this desperate attempt to usurp the "Ivy League " brand.

Stop it.

Why stop? There are jobless moms on this forum who have nothing else to do but to post garbage.

The part where I always chuckle is that the Ivy League is a college athletic league.

This is beyond pathetic.

The schooled existed on their own merit. They just decided to play together and someone called them the Ivy League. These days people don't view them as a sports league and rightly so. They are composed of the top students (usually) and that's what makes them great.

The only correct Ivies are the Ivy League schools. The guy that wrote the original Public Ivy book did it more to suggest that people didn't need to spend private school money for their kids to get a good education.
