"I've seen HYPS, CHYMPS, SHYP, etc... why can't you just say Ivy league schools."</p>
<p>Er, because Stanford, MIT, and Caltech aren't Ivies?
[/quote]
</p>
<p>and also because a lot of schools in the ivy league are not of the same caliber as these schools listed. HYP are in a tier of their own within the ivy league</p>
<p>Stanford is often considered the "Harvard of the West Coast." It's practically official on campus. And even if it's not exactly the same, it's still pretty darn good.</p>
<p>And Caltech and MIT can whip HYP in plenty of subjects.</p>
<p>pile it up and make it a sticky</p>

<p>I also disagree with the public ivies list.
I haven't even heard of some of these schools. Also, I don't think that UC Davis, Irvine, Riverside, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz are even close to public ivies. A lot of people who don't have good scores or grades get into those universities... </p>
<p>My list:</p>
<p>The Public Ivys
University of California - Berkeley, Los Angeles, San Diego,
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor
Univeristy of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
University of Texas at Austin (maybe...?)
Universtiy of Virginia at Charlottesville

<p>omg that clears so much up. I always asked what DS meant... who the heck would say that anyway. </p>
<p>"yeah my Darling Son goes to harvard, woohoo."<br>
freaking get a life, that is sooo dumb.</p>
<p>oh my god thank you.</p>
<p>i so had no idea what URM, SUNY, or BWRK meant. i mean, i figured them out from the context of the board, but it was still annoying.</p>
<p>aquamarine...Public Ivies are not according to you. It's according to a book someone wrote, and those were the colleges he put as Public Ivies.</p>
<p>Have occasionally seen YMMV...your mileage may vary</p>

btw I know there's a thread for this in the Parents Cafe but this is much easier to have in ONE post

<p>Shameless</a> copy and posting without acknowledging the original author :D</p>
<p>yeah that's why I had two threads because I found a larger list... in that thread it's like randomly in the middle.... and most people don't go to the parents forum... </p>
<p>Sorry if it was bad lol</p>
<p>Na, I was joking.</p>
