[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They called Amherst, Williams, and Wesleyan the Little 3 due to a football rivalry over 100 years ago (a contrast to the big 3 HYP football powerhouses of the time). In the last 30 or so years, people sometimes refer to Amherst, Swarthmore, and Williams together in that way due to college rankings. They are the only 3 SLACs to be ranked #1 multiple times by UNSWR (Williams has also never been ranked below #3 and Swarthmore and Amherst have never been ranked below #4). "Little Ivy" is just something people write to get clicks or sell magazines! [/quote] It's a marketing ploy by the college prep industry. "HYP", "Ivy plus", "little ivy", etc., are the brands they peddle. Don't let their marketing and business profits determine your worldview and your children's education.[/quote]
