[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What schools are “ivy-plus”

UMD calls themselves a “public ivy”[/quote]

This thread is garbage like all the subjective, strivery, clout-chasing prestige fights on this board, but I’m going to stick up for the Terps here. They didn’t decide to call themselves a public Ivy. The school was included on a list of the strongest flagships in the country. That moniker is no more or less valid than Ivy+. You certainly seem like someone who cares about NW’s perceived lack of prestige wrt the Ivies so why don’t you concentrate on that. [/quote]

Yeah..the UMD thing came out of nowhere.[/quote]

The regional AO from UMD did a webinar for our MCPS school. [b]She started her presentation by saying, “University of Maryland is considered a public ivy.”[/b] 
I kid you not.

FWIW, I turned down MIT for NU. Very happy with the outcome! Go Wildcats![/quote]

FWIW My kid turned downed NU this cycle for a top public.  He liked both but one was considerably cheaper.  Well, that and the better weather :)

I went to NU as a financial aid student and it was a great experience but today it's twice the cost of UVA or Virginia Tech in state. I'd advise a kid making that choice to save the over 100k.[/quote]
