It's just a label. Stop being so triggered.

I’m not so triggered. The label is dumb, wouldn’t you agree? I went to an ivy, as did my spouse, and we have 2 in HS now who probably won’t go into our schools (not applying yet and I’m being realistic).

Ivies is just a label to indicate selectivity of the student body and quality of the grads. It's just expanding on the current label.

It is also a label for a type of undergraduate education similar to Ivy league schools, with smaller classes, high standards, good teaching, typically residential, with institutional traditions. This part of it is getting lost.

I don't think the Ivy designation was specific to "smaller class sizes". In general, it's a label used to indicate selectivity, quality of the education and graduates.

Selectivity and with quality of education are being conflated these days.

Good point…Just because a person is super picky about whom they sleep with, does that necessarily make them “better” than someone who has a few (or a lot) miles on them?

Yes. A quality person over just your average random whore, giving it away to anybody. Everyone has taken a ride on her.

Black people find more value in Howard, Morehouse or Spelman, which is realistically the same as a UC riverside.
