UChicago along with MIT, Stanford and CalTech reject Ivies.

Ivy rejects apply to Chicago ED2

This is very much the case at our school.

Tufts is not T30, didn't even try to sneak them in. You listed them first.

They reject nearly everyone, so everywhere else.

The reality is that bottom-tier Ivies will get your kid the same outcomes as other T25s. Choose based on fit.

Reading comprehension issues. Obviously not an ivy grad.

Posts like this waste everyone's time. Why do you do it?

It's not 1980 anymore. All of these schools have single digit acceptance rates. Maybe Chicago in ED2, but none of these schools are backups for anyone.

First off, not everyone prioritizes Ivies. My DC is at a WASP SLAC, and it seems like most of the kids who got in RD there chose it over one or more Ivies or Ivy+ schools, my DC included.

For the true prestige-hunters who don't get into any Ivies (the "rejects"), I assume that they simply look at USNWR's rankings and pick the next most prestigious school that admitted them. I think most of this type are highly likely to pick a university over a SLAC simply because the former has more mainstream recognition. But they might pick a WASP SLAC over a T20-T30.

Otherwise, it'd depend on the Ivy they prioritized. For example . . . .

Dartmouth fans would probably look at Williams (which is as difficult to get into as Dartmouth), Colgate, Middlebury, and Hamilton, all of which offer strong academics in a outdoorsy, isolated setting. Brown fans would probably consider Wesleyan, which offers an open curriculum and similar artsy/intellectual culture. And Columbia fans are likely to consider Barnard (if female identifying) or other semi-urban, rigorous SLACs like Swarthmore.

My 1540, 4.0 kid isn’t applying to a single Ivy.

Wait. Is this a way to sneak Georgetown in?

The Ivies were #3 and #4 on my kid's list. Berkeley and uChicago were the top choices
