Public Ivies offer the same standard of education as the Ivies, in a public school environment and at a public school cost. These schools are more than just non-Ivies — they're some of the best schools you can attend in the world today.

Just search "best public universities in USA" and you'll find UVA.

Ivy is an athletic league.

There are no public “Ivies.” There are no little “Ivies.” Use of these terms is a symptom of insecurity.

Louder for the twits in the back. People are laughing behind their backs when they hear them refer to their kids' school as "Public Ivies, Little Ivies," etc.

Public Ivy has been a term used by college counselors since 1985. See Wikipedia. Get a grip and stop heckling ; you look like idiots.

Does not matter that it started as a sports league amongst select schools. People don't see it that way anymore except you.
Ivy is now a brand that attracts top students.

Ah, but only the chronically insecure view other non-Ivy League schools as public Ivies and little Ivies. Stop a random person at Wegmans and ask them to name a little Ivy. Let me know what they say. Ivies are very well defined. Pseudo-Ivies are not even remotely the same.

Yeah; OK. Tell yourself whatever you need to in order to cope.

I went to an actual Ivy so I think I'll be fine, thank you. I tried to save you from looking ridiculous but some people can't be helped. Carry on. I'll keep snickering as will others who are not insecure.

That's not what the PP was saying. Reading is fundamental.

This!

Honestly. People are such idiots today. They want to waste everyone’s time here instead of doing a simple google:

UVA: $40,000 a year x 4 = $160,000
Privates; $100k (yes NYU has surpassed the mark and USC is $99,400) = $400,000

$400,000 - $160,000 =$240,000.00


That’s higher if, like most parents, you haven’t saved $240k so are paying in after-tax dollars, so let’s say $300,000 savings x 3 VA kids = $1.2 million in savings.

So, if your kid can get in, bank the difference, let it compound, then pay to grad school or down pain a house.

We did this and were able to send our kid to Oxford and now Stanford Law School

The last time you went through this song and dance, you claimed it was Yale Law. Please stop.

Are you not aware that there are a lot of UVA kids at Oxford and T14s? UVA is the top public producer of Rhodes Scholars at 56. https://news.virginia.edu/content/uvas-56th-rhodes-scholar-targets-2-oxford-degrees-medical-school. My Harvard Law kid says there are ten UVA students at Harvard Law now.

Anonymous wrote:I live in DC and I see VA posters talk about these schools as if they're ivies. Why??? I understand that UVA has a certain mystique as it's VA's only "elite"-approaching school, but, frankly, UVA isn't even Georgetown, nevermind Stanford or Yale.

William and Mary is unique because of its size and also has some level of mystique but, again, I don't understand the commotion. It's essentially a public Wake Forest. Why?

Same story with VT. Even less of a reason to get into a twist because it's just like every other large public school in the nation. It has nice architecture, sure, but...so what?!

Can anyone enlighten me?
