How are you defining Ivy? According to Wikipedia ivy league is mainly location based. It also states that MIT isn't ivy league based on location.doubly deferred awk
has anyone gotten into ivy
I'm guessing if you got into UChicago you applied to the honors school at USC?Results of the early action decisions:
Deferred MIT, Georgetown
Accepted: South Carolina, Indiana University, UChicago
I don't really know where I'll go at this point, but the only real competitor I haven't applied to yet is American University in DC. I might also fill out one for New College in Florida, but I'm pretty much done at this point. Money is fairly important, so I'll probably end up going to USC or IU.
Where are you transferring from?Welp, I just applied to UCLA and UCSD as a transfer student. Hope I get in!
Santa Monica CollegeWhere are you transferring from?
You should apply to USC too!Santa Monica College
No.The Ivy League is based off a sports conference, not location or school intelligence/prestige. While it is true that conferences themselves are based off location, this means that not every elite school in the east is an Ivy. I don't know all the Ivys by memory but from what I can recall:
Harvard
Yale
Princeton
Brown
Dartmouth
Cornell (?)
UPenn
And probably some others I forgot.
--Wikipedia said:The Ivy League is a collegiate athletic conference composed of sports teams from eight private institutions of higher education in the Northeastern United States. The conference name is also commonly used to refer to those eight schools as a group.[2] The eight institutions are Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, andYale University. The term Ivy League also has connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism.
The term became official after the formation of the NCAA Division I athletic conference in 1954.[3] The use of the phrase is no longer limited to athletics, and now represents an educational philosophy inherent to the nation's oldest schools.[4] Seven of the eight schools were founded during the United States colonial period; the exception is Cornell, which was founded in 1865. Ivy League institutions, therefore, account for seven of the nine Colonial Colleges chartered before the American Revolution.
Did you entirely miss the part where I stressed heritage playing a huge role? Go read that same Wikipedia a bit carefully before jumping the gun. The conference is way later (after a college sports commentator saw the playoffs list and remarked that "all of them were ivy leaguers"). Of course setting up a shitty new college in the middle of Pennsylvania wouldn't make it ivy league. Thanks for being pedantic.^Except that there are a TON of private universities in the same general geographic region as the Ivies that aren't actually part of the Ivy League. And Wikipedia backs up the assertion that they're named .....
