[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:31 here. Same with my alma mater - we know we're good, and we'll let the rest of you fight over slot 25 vs. slot 26. Plus, the Ivies will always be 8 colleges, and even if some people question Brown or Cornell, it's too late to change that.[/quote] Except people aren't really talking about slot 25 v. 26. They're talking about the top 5-10 schools. And because USNWR rankings hold so much weight, you can damn well be sure that kids today would rather go to Stanford, MIT, or Chicago than Brown or Cornell, your Ivy examples above. So, it's true that the Ivy League will never change, but their importance (outside of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia) certainly has.[/quote]
