25 New Ivies

The nation's elite colleges these days include more than Harvard, Yale and Princeton. Why? It's the tough competition for all the top students. That means a range of schools are getting fresh bragging rights.

    Comment: The new ivies really should reflect the schools that should already be included. Georgetown would almost undoubtably be an ivy league school now if not for their Jesuit background and the anti-Catholic sentiment prevalent when the other elite schools were founded.

    If we doubled the list of the current Ivy League to 16 schools they would include
    1. Georgetown
    2. University of Chicago
    3. Duke
    4. Stanford
    5. Vanderbilt
    6. Notre Dame
    7. Virginia
    8. John Hopkins

    Comment: ren, if u go to Swarthmore then I feel bad for them to have chosen such an idiot for their school - a person who can't even read. Honestly, dumbass

      Comment: I'd pick Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Duke, and Georgetown over any of these "New Ivies" any day.

    Comment: ren8690 you are completely stupid please learn to read. Swarthmore is listed at the beginning of the article as an already-elite- school. Again, read the entire article you idiot.

    Comment: What about Swarthmore College? Why is it not on the list? What criteria did you use?

    Comment: What about Swarthmore College???? Why is it not on the list? What criteria did you use? Random picking???

    Comment: Sometimes I think Harvey Mudd is a little known treasure. My son, a graduate of HMC chose it over any other college and has never regretted it. I just wish it would get the accolades it deserves. It's the only college that I know of that has a very active parent association. I'm proud to say I'm a Mudder's Mother!!

    Comment: Gee, if you had attended Kenyon--you might know why it was chosen over Northwestern or Grinnell...

  • Posted By: dksh @ 01/02/2008 4:14:33 PM

    Comment: And why is Northwestern University not included? Kenyon, Colby, and Skidmore better than Northwestern? Give me a break.

  • Posted By: dksh @ 01/02/2008 4:13:00 PM

    Comment: Also, why isn't Northwestern University included as well? Colby better than Northwestern? Give me a break!

  • Posted By: mja984 @ 01/01/2008 7:54:50 PM

    Comment: Why did Kenyon and Skidmore beat out Grinnell? That doesn't make much sense either.

  • Posted By: geobarth @ 12/11/2007 12:48:18 PM

    Comment: Wait a minute. What is the criteria here??? Certainly Amherst and Williams belong in the mix as well as Hamilton and Middlebury among others. including Johns Hopkins. This is not playing elitist....there's hardly anyone on the planet that would think the aforementioned schools were not much more deserving than many that have been cited. No doubt this is the reaswon why many top schools are opting out of participating in the "rankings" game.

Isn't it ironic: Xerox is hoping it can profit by teaching companies how to reduce their printing.
