Did your DMV private do better than Westminster Atlanta?

That's a stretch. I guarantee that less than 1% of DCUM has ever heard of it...which is fine because I wouldn't expect someone in Miami to have heard of GDS as an example...or even Westminster school in Atlanta. Other than some select NYC, LA and 200+ old boarding schools...it's safe to say very few people know about regional private schools. |

With half of NYC moving to South Florida during and after COVID, its reputation has definitely become more mainstream. Wasn't there a whole article in Town & Country about the school with Ken Griffin's kids joined? |

Sure but no Princeton |

That’s nice, but 20% is still a lower percentage than a couple of DC privates that have students heading to Ivy+ universities. |

That doesn't include Ivy+. Just Ivy and MIT and Stanford. 35-40% (per my count) is Ivy +. Just a bit envious that's all. |

Agree. Is 3 MIT high? Seems like the Cornell, Penn, Brown numbers are high, which is what skews the data. |

Ivy+ = the Ivies, plus MIT, Stanford, Duke (1 RE senior), and UChicago (3). That adds up to 33 (cited in the HOS letter) + 4 Duke/Uchicago. So, 37 Ivy+ bound RE seniors, divided by a total of 160 RE seniors means that 23% of RE seniors are heading to Ivy+ universities. How did you get 35-40%? |

Ivy+ doesn't include the rest of the privates in T20? |

Wait is Northwestern (or JHU) not an Ivy+? That seems crazy. But UChicago is!!! What??? |

No, it doesn’t. However, the PP is incorrect, there are 13 Ivy+ universities, including JHU. Much like the Ivy League originally started as an athletic league, the Ivy+ term came about “in 2011 when the BorrowDirect inter-library scheme that was founded in 1999 expanded to include MIT as its first non-Ivy League member and assumed the name the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation (IPLC).” After expanding beyond MIT and the core Ivy League libraries, “it would grow to include Chicago, Johns Hopkins, Duke, and Stanford, successively, between 2013 and 2016. These are the institutions viewed by the Ivy League schools as their peers and that offer a similar calibre of academic and research output.” https://fitzgabrielsschools.com/2024/07/08/ivy-plus/ Here’s the link to the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation (IPLC): https://ivpluslibraries.org/about/ |

^ I meant to add:
If you google the term “Ivy Plus,” you’ll find a number of websites that expand the list to many more universities. Much like the fact that you will find lots of lists of Little Ivies, Public Ivies, Southern Ivies, etc. However, the original term is based on those 13 universities and their membership in the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation (IPLC). |

lol, still don’t care. Can’t the Florida people stick to their own forum to discuss their local schools? |

| Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation is separate from, and not affiliated with, the Ivy League Athletic Conference. |
