[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a shorthand way of describing schools exhibiting particularly attractive academic traits. "Ivy" is a useful term for that characteristic. How do others here feel about Stanford? MIT? Caltech? Duke? Chicago? Middlebury? Johns Hopkins? I mean, they're also not Ivies. So they're not worthy of comparison, or of being grouped with Ivies as excellent schools? The term originated in the 1980s, with three schools consistently at the top: UVA, Michigan, Cal. It's a clever bit of branding that stuck. What would be better? Public "HYPSM's"?[/quote] Those elites you mentioned sans Middlebury — which few have heard of, let alone care about — are generally coined “Ivy Plus” meaning the Ivies plus 7-8 non Ivy top private research universities.[/quote] Nonsense[/quote]
