What does "Ivy-esque" mean? Not trying to be confrontational, but just curious how you define this. Do you mean super-strong academics? Or something else?

Not the OP but Ivy-esque would mean schools that attract the same or a similar crowd as the ivies and combine prestige with top notch academics. It is no coincidence that the ivies, Stanford, MIT, UChicago and Duke are usually referred to as the Ivy plus group.
