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. |
|
why are we talking about the librarian's confederation???
are you all librarians? Can't believe the crazy nerdy mom who posted this Ivy plus crap. Btw, that's not what most of us mean when we say "Ivy plus". |
I never said the two entities were connected or affiliated in any way. I said the name, Ivy Plus, comes from the library confederation. Just as the Ivy League name came from the athletic conference. That’s it. |
Nerdy? Thanks, I’ll take that as a compliment (I don’t care how you intended it). I would use the words crazy, rude, and uncouth to describe you. I don’t care what most of you mean when you say Ivy+. I deal in facts, while you obviously deal in feelings and name calling. Lucky for you, when you go low, I’ll meet you in the gutter. |
| The term Ivy Plus pre-dates the consortium. Unless you are going to argue that Harvard became an Ivy Plus school in 2016. |
Damn, y’all are dumb! There’s no rule that all 8 Ivies have to be a member of the confederation before you call it Ivy+. There could be 1 Ivy, plus MIT, and there’s your “Ivy, Plus” MIT. If you actually read, before commenting, you would know that the libraries confederation started in 1999, with just 3 Ivies (Columbia, Penn, and Yale). Other Ivies joined later, with MIT (the first non-Ivy) joining in 2011. That’s how the term Ivy Plus came to be. |

Ok. That’s cool. Not sure anyone cares.
Back to the topic at hand. This seems like a really impressive list. |
