[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UChicago, Northwestern, JHU, and Emory, the self labeled 'ivy plus' schools by DCUM strivers.[/quote]

+1. Ivies are soooo overrrated... so we created a term for schools that are TOTALLY just as if not MORE elite and we called it IVY plus. lol[/quote]

You all are so misinformed it’s embarrassing. Ivy Plus was coined by Ivy League schools themselves and is used in a limited, official capacity when discussing library exchanges, consortia, faculty conferences, you name it. It’s also a term used by Ivy League alumni associations for networking purposes. Example: http://rmhuc.clubs.harvard.edu/article.html?aid=265

I honestly wonder if this person is, counterintuitively, an Emory shill. Unprovoked, they keep bringing up Emory in association with higher-calibre schools, even on that other thread about the Ivy League. No one's talking about Emory here...

Beyond that this person who keeps posting about how non-Ivy schools can't possibly be elite is the kind of desperate striver that they themselves are so desperate to put down.[/quote]
I'm not PP but what's your issue with Emory. You seem to be mentioning it more than anyone else. And what higher caliber schools in a thread that mentions JHU, UVA, Cornell etc? Emory is clearly in the same ballpark as those schools. [/quote]
