[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Miami Ohio is literally where the rich kids who didn't do so hot go.  It is full of preppy white kids.  Like a 3rd tier Ivy or somethings.  It was weird.  But they like their niche [/quote]

Miami still markets itself as an "original public ivy".

The term Public Ivy first appeared as the title of a 1985 book by Richard Moll, The Public Ivys: A Guide to America's Best Public Undergraduate Colleges and Universities. It defines a Public Ivy as a public university that provides “an Ivy League collegiate experience at a public school price," and identified eight national universities that meet the criteria:

Miami University
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
University of Virginia
University of California (system)
College of William & Mary
University of Michigan
University of Texas at Austin
University of Vermont[/quote]

Just another marketing gimmick to sell a book to rubes.  And Miami has a 65% admit rate.......I shudder to think of who they actually reject.[/quote]
