Threads and articles like this make me laugh.
"Public Ivy," "Southern Ivy," "Near-Ivies," and "New Ivies." There are only eight schools that can be called Ivies...the rest are just really good schools, but to use the term "Ivy" doesn't celebrate the schools in their own rights. I think UT is an awesome school, but never would I call it a "Public Ivy." It's just a damned good school in an awesome town.
There are only about 20 schools that I would consider sending any mini-Munchkins to. I will not pay if they go to crappy schools!
