[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One is a prestigious public ivy the other is 5th rate[/quote]

lol......public ivy.  That’s cute.[/quote]

It’s a term that’s been around for nearly 35 years. Look it up. You won’t look like a moron the next time you post![/quote]

Yes, and people have been mocking the naked insecurity and sheer idiocy of the term for 35 years.[/quote]

R[b]eminiscent of the imbecile in HS that would refer to Sewanee as the Harvard of the South....you clowns continue to amuse.[/quote][/b]

Even William & Mary refers to itself as a "public ivy".  Just get over it.  https://www.wm.edu/about/history/coolfacts/index.php[/quote]

Of course it does!  William & Mary is desperate to be thought of as prestigious given declining enrollment and the gender imbalance of its student body.  This is exactly the sort of circumstance that would lead a school, or an insecure parent of a kid at the school, to try to claim the term has any real meaning.[/quote]

Did you consider that William & Mary was listed as a Public Ivy in the Public Ivy book?

Your other points have no basis either.  Gender balance at William & Mary is the same as the national average and lower than schools like UNC and Emory. Overall enrollment has gone up 10% since 2010 and undergraduate enrollment has increased by 6% over that period.  You didn't get anything right.  [/quote]

Well, to be fair W&M is not on those Emory's or even UNC's level. And I can say the same about UMD and UVA. I just don't understand the constant comparison, they are not peer schools. [/quote]
