Employers don't care what a school looks like OMG. They care about who comes out the other end.

That is just not true. The campus is very nice and adjacent to the oval wade and art museum.

Article about the "New Ivy" list by Forbes.com

Looks like UVA and William and Mary are on the list.

From the Forbes article when having interviewed hiring executives in light of AI and ever changing technology

“That Ivy League-wariness persists, with 37% of respondents this year saying they are less likely to hire Ivy League grads than they were five years ago, and only 6% saying they’re more likely to do so. Those numbers are reversed for public universities, with 42% saying they’re more likely to hire these grads and just 6% less likely to do so.”

Wow Times are a changing.

I have a soon to be graduating senior at Case and he has a number of friends in Weatherhead (business school) and all I can say is that every single one of them have had solid jobs lined up for months now. Great jobs in fact. My son explained that the alumni support and networking for the business school is deep and strong.

The public list doesn't come close to the private list, that is troubling

U Wisconsin Madison

Air Force Academy & Case Western are NEW to the list. Which schools came off?

West Point and Johns Hopkins

Hopkins didn't really come off the list...they moved it into the "Ivy +" group.

Yes Hopkins has been consistently ranked #6-7 in USNWR and other rankings.

There are 8 Ivies. Period.

I always find it crazy when we start with “southern Ivy”, “public Ivy”, “Ivy plus”… why keep using the moniker.

These schools were always good. There was just a number of articles that you need to graduate from a T20/Ivy in this poor economy in order to get hired. Now- of course- they zing back to - not true.

It just is all click bait on stressed out tiger parents and their mini tigers.

I named my daughter Ivy to give her a head start

I have heard this anecdotally from hiring directors in my network too. Something about an entitled attitude that they're turning off on.

My graduating senior is engineering and he and all of his friends have jobs. His best friend is pre med and got into medical school without a gap year. My child picked case over Carnegie Mellon and tufts - received a ton of merit aid and has a lot of money still in his 529 for grad school. The think box maker center is amazing and the research opportunities are great.

yes, I agree.

Why do people think their personal opinions, presented without any data or basis, are relevant to a discussion of a published list?

How so?

I would say the opposite. The publics are way stronger overall.

I think all of those are good schools but as someone who mentors and hires college grads, I think this is a bit silly. I like rethinking the Ivy model and over obsession in rank. But the kid I'm meeting at 21 or 22 isn't the same kid they were at 16 or 17 and school rank is just one of many many factors I'm considering when I work with these kids.
