<p>Hey, I just had a great idea! Since competition at these schools is so crazy, why don’t they just open another Ivy League school? There are certainly enough qualified applicants to start one! Either this or they could expand each Ivy to hold a certain # more of students. They all have plenty of money to expand. Sounds Like a good idea to me:D</p>

<p>Much props to Amused :). Took the words out of all our collective mouths on this topic that has been brought up in various forms for years now.</p>
<p>Hey its a joke. I'm not appyling to any ivys so dont freak out. Dont take everything so seriously guys.......</p>
<p>Overachieving teenagers are already screwed-up enough dealing with 8.</p>
<p>i like the NEW IVY idea! yeah, why don't we start it ourselves! it'll be an Ivy-leaguer OF the crazed CC-ers BY the crazed CC-ers and FOR the crazed CC-ers, so that our collective sanity shall not perish from the earth!</p>
<p>did you catch the sarcasm there? ;) seriously, i think opening up another school - or two - would be a good idea. in 30 years, with the population still growing, just WHO will be able to get into these schools?!? Superman? nah, he's not goooooood enough! yeah, this kind of competition is just crazy. it shouldn't go on this way. can't there be enough ivies for us all? </p>
<p>hey, why don't we lobby to have 5-6 non-ivies become ivies!!! right now, i'd say we could do with at least 12....maybe 14. it's the student population that really matters to me, which is why i'm applying to tough places. any place with ivy status will get the applications to make for a great student population. then they could also be need-blind to everyone....wouldn't that be luv-er-lee?</p>
<p>population will stop growing soon enough</p>
<p>but probably not 'till the earth can't hold any more of us!</p>
<p>Use protection. Adopt.</p>
<p>haha, yea the converting idea sounds cool.</p>
