[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is asked over and over every week.
Ivy+ has a fairly consistent definition based on studies using that term and defining it as The 8 ivies plusMIT Stanford Duke Uchicago. Most people would add the perennial T10 schools Caltech, Northwestern, Hopkins. Thats the T-15. After that using traditional strength of student body ranking the rest of the T25 are:
UCB, WashU, Rice, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, CMU, UCLA, Mich, UVa, ordered variously based on personal preference and bias but basically everyone agrees these are the 16-25 group of schools. [/quote]

There are no large public’s in the top 25 schools. USNWR adjusted the ranking criteria to make some float to the top.

For undergraduate education SLACs are better than any of these schools outside of engineering/CS. [/quote]

Only the top 5 SLACs seem worth it.  When ranked against national universities, you have Williams at 18 and the other 4 in the top 30…and then they drop off a cliff.[/quote]

The SLACs don't do well against the very top universities.  But I'm not sure anyone at Pomona College wishes they were at Northwestern, Hopkins, Rice, Vanderbilt, or Chicago.[/quote]

Some of the faculty in the Pomona English Department might.[/quote]
