[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They haven't changed much. Ivies, seven sisters, little ivies, Grinnell, Carlton, Reed, Oberlin, MIT, Stanford, Claremont Colleges[/quote] I went to Carleton in the 80s and it was practically unknown on the east coast (although there were a number of people from this area in my class). Reed and Grinnell were even less known. Definitely not "hot".[/quote] This is a great example of how regional this stuff is. I'm from California and could not have named most of the Ives at the time I was applying to colleges, but I knew all the Claremont Colleges. I went to a highly ranked non-CA school for grad school and had CA employers ask why I couldn't get into a UC. East Coast and West Coast don't have the same ideas about hot schools. I've now lived in DC for 15 years and still have never heard of the little Ivies (?) or Grinnell. [/quote]
