Stanford is as elite as any Ivy, but it is not an Ivy. Some people just use H/P/S/Y to connote that it belongs with the rest of the top Ivy League schools in terms of prestige. |

I don't even know what schools you guys are talking about. Among the IVY colleges, I think it's between Ivy Tech and Ivy Christian College.
You seem to be getting your understanding of American higher education from Chinese/Korean/Indian how to guides. |

| Princeton is more undergrad-focussed than Harvard -- which, perhaps perversely, was one reason I preferred Harvard. Seemed more intellectually serious where Princeton was more pandering. |
