[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA and William and Mary are both still listed as Public Ivies.  I see no reason to think otherwise. [/quote]

Listed by who?

Nobody thinks these schools are Ivy equivalents. They're not even that great for public universities. [/quote]

by the person who coined the term [b]public ivy.[/quote][/b]

go look it up in Wikipedia. Counselors have been using the term for almost forty years.[/quote]

It's a term coined to sell a book al la "Colleges that Change Lives."  It has about as much merit.  There are no "public ivies."  [b]There are no public schools that convey the prestige and name recognition that the Ivies do[/b].  The book hasn't been updated since 1985.  You either got into an Ivy or you didn't.  Get over it. [/quote]

I would argue that Cal is far more prestigious than Cornell [/quote]

Likely.  But UVA isn't.[/quote]

UVA has more prestige than Dartmouth [b]in Virginia though[/b].[/quote]

it has more prestige than Harvard/MIT combined "in Virginia."[/quote]

Or more correctly in some part of NOVA DCUM circle.  [/quote]

Nah it’s in RVA and Central Virginia too.[/quote]
