[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA is ivy in others eyes, even though may not be in tier 1. [/quote] It is not. Ivy League means being a member of the athletic conference. Lots of very good schools are not Ivies! But a school cannot just become an Ivy by being high-quality. That's not what it means. The Ivy League is an agreement to hold athletes to the same academic standards as other students, only give need-based aid, and certain procedural rules. The idea is to get away from the athletic spending arms race that sucks up so much of a university's money and focus. And a school can be a good school without adhering to these rules or participating in the conference, but it cannot be an Ivy.[/quote]
