@19EHF The IL is an east coast sports league compromised of some of the oldest schools in the nation. Stanford is on the west coast, and as a result, not as old of a school. That being said, Stanford is on the same level as Harvard,Yale,Princeton and even more prestigious than the other five ivies. Essentially, IL isn't synonymous with "best in the nation", it just so happens that every IL school is amazing. There are many non-IL schools like MIT, Stanford, Duke that are not IL but great
@19EHF *sigh*, Penn State isn't the same thing as the University of Pennsylvania. Penn State (scandal school) is a public university with tens-of-thousands of students and multiple campuses, while Univ. of Penn (UPenn) is a small, highly selective and private university in Philadelphia.
@mutatedlavalamp My bad. If your a UPenn student i didnt mean no disrespect, its just i usually get the two confused. I think UPenn is a great school as are the other IL schools
@19EHF It's cool. I'm not a UPenn student, just from the area. I just find it unfortunate that such a great school (UPenn) is being associated with this terrible, terrible scandal just cause it has a similar name to Penn State
I wouldn't say Stanford is more prestigious than the other Ivies. Really, many of them value a certain state of quiescence. That is, they're crazy in terms of scholarship and academics, but they don't like their names being mentioned even in TV shows, movies, other media. They don't need any publicity and they don't want it, which is what makes Stanford different because you hear about it everywhere. Penn and Columbia are ranked higher or as high as Stanford in US News.
Fair enough, but at this level of eliteness, we're just splitting hairs. Students with the choice of Stanford or a non-HYP Ivy tend to yield at Stanford is well above 50%. Prestige is hardly quantifiable and there are probably thousands of reasons why a student could chose S over an Ivy and vice-versa, but in my experience, name recognition is important. Because S markets itself so much to the largely uninformed masses, there is a (perhaps false) public perception that it is more prestigious.
Yale Crew all the way!!!!
Awww Handsome Dan is soooooo cute. But I gotta root for my Brown Bears!!!!
Yeah now Penn State is known for the sex scandal. I feel bad because this is such an amazing school and now its reputation is tarnished
I thought Stanford University was also considered a member of the IL
