the word is out that select [b]flagship publics offer the best blend of academics and lifestyle with a large enough student body for fun.[/b]

The ivies are seen as woke and/or grindy

People who are looking for that never seriously considered Ivy League schools. Not now. Not 30 years ago. [/quote]

Exactly! State schools are for MC + poor kids and kids who go to public HS [/quote]

LACS are the new Ivies. They skew wealthy like Ivies used to before endowments went to the moon and they needed to bring in financially needy students. Educationally and socially, they are most similar to Ivies, which are generally themselves just large LACs. All the kids from top schools who used to be able to get into Ivies (but can’t because of all the seats now allocated to URM and FG) are now absorbed by LACs. I don’t see how one can compare state schools to Ivy League schools of years past. There is nothing that resembles an Ivy League school when 50-90 pct of the class hails from one state. [/quote]
