except its incorrect. Penn is light years ahead of those other two, on every single level. sorry.

upenn = ivy
uva = nova
uchicag= midwestern with full ride for nova

I think of UVA and UNC as closest.

Agree. Both are southern public Ivies with beautiful campuses & lovely college towns.

Please stop with this public Ivy nonsense. They are good public universities and that should be enough. It is pathetic and embarrassing to try and further burnish their image with a silly reference to the Ivy league.

Good lord

DCUM did not coin the phrase “public Ivy” (I think US News did but it is a commonly known/used term in any case).

-pp who has zero connection to any “public Ivy” & therefore no reason to try to “burnish” their image.

You don’t have to coin a phrase for its use to be silly. Nor does it have to maintain whatever meaning it once had, if ever. I’m sure the kids at the University of Vermont don’t use this term because it’s dreadfully wannabe. (And I happen to love UVM.)

That phrase was coined by a former admission dean who wrote a book in the 1980s. He thought people were wasting money on private options when there are a lot of good public options. I think original list was something like: University of California System, Michigan, Texas, UVA, W&M, UNC, Miami of Ohio, and Vermont.

No, take Georgetown and BC out and put them together. And keep ND and Villanova together.

Georgetown (and increasingly more and more, BC too) is Catholic in name only.

ND and Villanova have much stronger Catholic character.

Georgetown & ND are also much harder to get into than Villanova & somewhat harder to get into than BC.

yes

Yes, I would agree with you. In terms of difficulty to get in, I would rank them as:

GU
ND
BC
Villanova

[Anonymous]

I think ND has been more difficult than GT to get in to for several years now.

And? If you are using acceptance rates to demonstrate selectivity, then you don’t know much about college admissions.

Why are you so angry about something as benign as people using this phrase? Do you think it somehow makes your “real” Ivy degree less special?

+1 Acceptance rates don’t take into consider the merits/stats of the students applying/being admitted or rejected.

I think they are a pretty fair proxy when the applicant pool is so very similar as one would expect here. BUt I don't think the percentage difference is material here.
