<p>Everyone always refers to the NESCAC (New England Small College Athletic Conference) schools as the “Little Ivies”. So I was wondering, Which are the corresponding schools? For example, which is the “Harvard of NESCAC”? Obviously this is all opinion and just for fun, but I was curious to see what others thought. Ivy consists of Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, UPenn, Princeton, and Yale. NESCAC consists of 11 schools (Amherst, Bates, Bowdoin, Colby, Connecticut College, Hamilton, Middlebury, Trinity, Tufts, Wesleyan, and Williams) but I’m only including the top 9, to make this easier (Sorry Trinity and Connecticut College). So below is my table. Give me your thoughts. </p>
<p>Harvard = Williams
Princeton = Amherst (both have the “old boy” network)
Yale = Middlebury (Midd was actually founded by a former Yale President)
University of Pennsylvania = Bowdoin (Great school that everyone always forgets) Columbia = Wesleyan (Most liberal of both conferences)
Dartmouth = Hamilton
Cornell = Bates (Great school nagged by its reputation as one of the easiest to get in within the conference)
Brown = Tufts or Colby (not entirely sure why, just feels right)</p>
<p>Again, no offense intended, Please don’t attack me for creating this fun game.</p>
<p>Nah, Brown = Wesleyan, Bowdoin = Columbia, UPenn = Tufts. Otherwise I agree.</p>
<p>I agree with Drought’s corrections.
Penn definitely = Tufts.</p>
<p>I’m going to throw Dartmouth=Middlebury out there because there both outdoorsy and have a ton of people who apply to both.</p>
<p>bates/colby should not be included.</p>
<p>this comparison is totally dumb but hilarious and fun so i would say:</p>
<p>harvard = williams
yale = amherst
princeton = midd
columbia or dartmouth = bowdoin (or brown…)
upenn = tufts
brown = hamilton</p>
<p>(in my personal opinion from best to worst)</p>
<p>Harvard- Williams
Yale- Amherst
Princeton- Bowdoin
Columbia- Wesleyan (in reality more like Brown, but in the NESCAC analogy more Columbia)
UPenn- Tufts
Dartmouth- Middlebury
Brown- Bates (same starting letter and same amount of letters! lol but also a lot of people apply to them because they are the easier ones in the conference to get into)
Cornell- Hamilton</p>
<p>Not enough ivys for Trinity, Conn and Colby =(</p>
<p>This is actually pretty fun to try and correlate.</p>
<p>Harvard - Williams
Yale - Amherst
Princeton - Bowdoin
Columbia - Colby
UPenn - Tufts
Dartmouth - Middlebury
Brown - Wesleyan
Cornell - Hamilton</p>
<p>Harvard - Williams
Yale - Amherst
Princeton - Bowdoin
