<p>Hey Everyone ! I'm new here. Okay I'm a junior in High School and my friends and I are already making our university choices. I'm interested in Yale,Cambridge,Toronto,William and Mary,Virginia Tech, University of Pennsylvania, Duke,Virginia, Queens University and McGill. Anyway my friends and I were comparing our choices and we all had one thing in common : Ivy Leagues. We each had at least one Ivy League school on there. ( in my case 2 ) lol. So that had us thinking, We all know the list of Lvy League Schools, Right ? Well what schools do you think have the same Prestige, Academics, and overall have close to the same rankings and reputation of those of an Ivy Leauge School. Here is my list :</p>

<p>1.Duke University
2.Notre Dame
3.Amherst College
4. Williams College
5.John Hopkins
6.Emory
7.Vanderbilt
8. Tufts
Here is just a short list of WHAT I THINK are close to Ivy Leaugue Standards. Feel free to agree disagree make your own opinions. I'm only asking out of interest. Remember I have my college choices =]</p>

<p>Considering none of those schools have non-scholarship D-I athletics, you might want to rethink your list, because that’s all the Ivy League stands for.</p>

3

<p>Well according to your qualifications, I would also add Stanford, Northwestern, and UChicago</p>

4

<p>No need to be rude to a new member with technicalities. </p>

<p>I think many of the top public schools are up there too!</p>

5

<p>I would add MIT. Cayuga, many of them are just as good. Maybe not at the HYP level (maybe for undergrads) but def at or above the others. At least Duke and Amherst are.</p>

<p>CayugaRed: The OP did ask for schools that have “the same Prestige, Academics, and overall have close to the same rankings and reputation of those of an Ivy Leauge School.”</p>
