Makes perfect sense, particularly for lower ranked Ivies.

There are at least a dozen schools on this list that many students today would choose over comparable Ivy schools. If an engineering or cs student, add more. It's a pretty solid list of schools. Then add in MIT, Stanford, Duke, and Chicago, and you recognize that the Ivy League in 2026 is just a sports league of some of the older private colleges. Different times today.

Not to be a downer for you, other than Forbes New Ivies, the cites you list as authority are really not braggable IMHO. Just saying

Why are you so triggered by some school getting more attention? "not braggable"?! Just that wording says much more about your head space than the post you are responding to.

Listen, I have no horse in this race as my kid is at a far different school than those being discussed here. I was just curious to read about this new ranking. But posts like the "braggable" PP just do not make sense other than the need to make some personal swipe.
