A very high acceptance.. I thought UCLA would be more selective.

It's probably 147 k applications not 47k

It’s all marketing and creating a stupid, useless frenzy to get into an Ivy. since they can’t get in, they are creating other Ivys. There is only one Ivy League. It was for sports.

It’s all about s creating prestige to make parents feel better. My friend told me her son got into a Little Ivy and I was like WTF? It was Carleton. Then, she called it the Harvard of the Midwest. There is only one Harvard dumbass. What a snob trying make herself feel superior. I had never heard of Carleton before. It’s a good school. She can be proud but she didn’t need to create this air about the school.

There are more such wtfs:

Black Ivy League—A list of historically black colleges or universities that provide Ivy quality education in a predominantly black environment

Public Ivies—Group of public US universities thought to "provide an Ivy League collegiate experience at a public school price"

Southern Ivies—Complimentary use of "Ivy" to characterize excellent universities in the US South

Little Ivies—An unofficial group of small, academically competitive private liberal arts colleges in the Northeastern United States.

Jesuit Ivy—Use of "Ivy" to characterize Boston College and other prominent American Jesuit colleges

Seven Sisters (colleges)—Seven highly selective liberal arts colleges in the Northeastern United States that are historically women's colleges, intended as the educational equivalent to the (traditionally male) Ivy League colleges

And there are already valid research studies showing the “plus” schools (Stanford Duke UChicago MiT) that provide the upper-tier grad school and career outcomes boost that the ivies do. Beyond this group, data does not indicate other non-ivy schools provide a definitive edge.

What a useless and moronic post

Where is Middleburry, Carleton, Swarthmore, Grinnell, Haverford etc

Macalester, Reed, Kenyon, Umich, Colby, Colgate.. cmon.. can't even call them prestige.. tf

Calling these schools “New Ivies” may be good marketing for Newsweek but I’m not sure it’s good marketing for the schools themselves. The Ivies have a lot of prestige but also their own baggage.

Ivy League started as an sports league and morphed into a marketing tool. Look beyond that and you will find great schools not in that sports league.

What was wrong with the old ones? We always just go to Yale.

Kenyon, Skidmore, RPI? Come TF on.

Ivy League is a league of schools. That is the end of it. Classifying other schools as "Ivys" is just plain dumb.

This article is dated, but it’s interesting because it highlights both national universities and liberal arts schools, provides typical application overlaps, and highlights some schools I was less familiar with until reading DCUM, like Davidson.
