[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is asked over and over every week.
Ivy+ has a fairly consistent definition based on studies using that term and defining it as The 8 ivies plusMIT Stanford Duke Uchicago. Most people would add the perennial T10 schools Caltech, Northwestern, Hopkins. Thats the T-15. After that using traditional strength of student body ranking the rest of the T25 are:
UCB, WashU, Rice, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, CMU, UCLA, Mich, UVa, ordered variously based on personal preference and bias but basically everyone agrees these are the 16-25 group of schools. [/quote]
No we don't, Emory is T25, UVA (and maybe Umich) are not. Emory has been Top 20 for years while UVA has never been. [/quote]

And you see how dumb that is? There are way, way more than 25 excellent universities in this huge country where, on average, over 2.4 million first-year students enter college every year.[/quote]
It's not.dumb at all if DCUM members were intellectually honest. It has a knack for disrespecting Emory and a few others schools for the sake of UVa, Georgetown, Umich etc when they're ranked the same currently and historically Emory is ranked higher. That doesn't even include global rankings or even parchment where Emory does better to much better. We all know why the sentiment against Emory exists. If it wasn't in Atlanta it wouldn't be treated that way. Thats all I'll say. [/quote]

Emory does get bashed quite a bit on this forum. It’s Southern, it doesn’t have big-time sports, it’s seen as an Ivy reject school for kids from the Northeast, and there aren’t a lot of “household name” famous people who have gone to Emory. It is what it is…unfortunately, some people can’t look past those things to appreciate what it does offer.[/quote]
Those other schools are also ivy rejects, and Kenneth Cole, Newt Gingrich, Scooter Brawn, are household names. Does WashU have household names? Just curious. [/quote]

Two problems here. If Scooter Brawn is a household name, you'd know his name was spelled Braun.  and second LMAO - that is not an endorsement for Emory! [/quote]
BUT...You know how to spell his name. So... i guess he is a household name[/quote]
