[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid goes To one of these schools and I'm embarrassed by this.  
The students are great, the school is great, I don't need people to force this odd categorization. It feels like it's trying too hard. [/quote]

The schools aren't doing this. Forbes is doing this, and created this nomenclature 3 years ago. These lists are being celebrated in state press as a win for their states's best schools, and also I saw it mentioned proudly by UF, UVA, Purdue and Vandy in their own school press. Other schools haven't mentioned it yet but all schools should be proud that they are being embraced by employers and better aligned curriculum and career readiness for AI realities.

I do agree "new Ivy" is silly term since the term refers to their sports league, not any mark of quality. And I'm old enough to remember the schools in the ivy league that were considered easier to get into in 80s/90s and not as impressive (Cornell, Dartmouth, Penn, Brown). These schools have since come up, as have all the schools on this list. [/quote]
