[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ivy League is a league of schools. That is the end of it. Classifying other schools as "Ivys" is just plain dumb.[/quote]

It’s all marketing and creating a stupid, useless frenzy to get into an Ivy. since they can’t get in, they are creating other Ivys. There is only one Ivy League.  It was for sports.

It’s all about s creating prestige to make parents feel better. My friend told me her son got into a Little Ivy and I was like WTF?  It was Carleton. Then, she called it the Harvard of the Midwest.  There is only one Harvard dumbass. What a snob trying make herself feel superior. I had never heard of Carleton before. It’s a good school. She can be proud but she didn’t need to create this air about the school. [/quote]
