<p>I remember reading somewhere on CC that all of Cornell's undergrad colleges are part of the Ivy League, although I was reading Dartmouth's application today and it lists the schools in the Ivy Group (is this the same as the Ivy League?) Anyway, it says Cornell University (College of Arts and Sciences). This confused me - does that mean that the other colleges are not part of the Ivy League?</p>
<p>no, type-o on their part.</p>
<p>haha. Dartmouth will be Dartmouth. I think they list Cornell CAS as the ivy league college because it gives a similar type of classical education that is offered at dartmouth. If dartmouth were to try and compare to the Ag and Life Sciences school, or the architecture school, they'd be found lacking.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the ivy league was formed as a DI football governing body, not some institutional governing body. That being said, not all Cornell football players are CAS, so dartmouth's application looks like it's wrong</p>
<p>I read it on the Dartmouth application, but I read it on the last page in a section titled "joint statement on common ivy group admissions procedures," which implies that all of the Ivies put the same text on their applications.</p>
<p>it says all:</p>
<p>or, scroll down to this:</p>
<p>hmm, that does say them all - that isn't the same wording printed on the application tough.</p>
<p>do you have a link to the application?</p>
<p>No, I have Dartmouth's paper application. It says the same thing as the Yale link above, except that it says "Cornell University (College of Arts and Sciences)" instead of just "Cornell University"</p>
<p>From Uncle Ez:</p>
<p>"Dear Uncle Ezra</p>
<p>Is it true that the college of Arts and Science is the only Ivy League college? Does this mean that,
though i was accepted to CAS, if I tranfer to CALS for the AEM program i won't have an ivy league degree?</p>
<p>Many thanks</p>
<p>Dear IV Leaguer,</p>
<p>All of the colleges of Cornell University are Ivy League. But the "Ivy League" may not be what you think it is. </p>
<p>Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Princeton joined together as an inter-scholastic athletic league in the late 1800s, and were officially known as the "Four League" or, in roman-numeral designation, the "IV League". The League kept this "IV" or "Ivy" name even when their major opponents -- Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth, and Pennsylvania -- were added to the group. Browse through the Uncle Ezra archives for more information about the Ivy League.</p>
<p>Perhaps if our more than 1100 intercollegiate athletes only attended the College of Arts and Sciences this statement would be true. People often forget that the Ivy League is an athletic conference and not an elite group of Northeast colleges and universities. Cornell celebrates the academic fortitude of each of our seven undergraduate colleges. And our Department of Athletics is proud that student athletes make up each of those colleges and schools. Together we are all part of the Ivy League"</p>
<p>EDIT: The thing Uncle Ez says about the original 4 might be more legend than fact. Ez has said the original 4 were Harv, prin, yal, and colu, but also HPY, and Cornell. Wikipedia article on Ivy League implies this is rather legend and mentions a real meething between yale, prin, colu, and Rutgers. So who knows how credible the old rat is...
but it is fairly safe to say all cornell colleges are in the league.</p>
