[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid who is the current UVM student, have another kid who went to an Ivy. “Public Ivy” is 100% a marketing gimmick (as opposed to actual Ivy which is first and foremost an athletic league but has become shorthand for a certain type of prestige.) I advise you to just let go of the whole Ivy thing in general, there are so many great schools out there and they differ on many metrics. My UVM kid loves it, he’s working hard, has met lots of great people from all over the country (it’s a state School with much more of a national draw than others in part because Vermont is so small they’re just aren’t that many high school students to fill the spots.) It recently gained R1 status which can be important to people when they comparing schools and research opportunities, it’s got terrific access to outdoors and the buzz of life in Burlington. It’s a wonderful School for the right kid. But it is not an Ivy.[/quote]
