<p>^The article doesn't cite Stanford as an Ivy. It says "Some Ivy League colleges - as well as Stanford, whose president and provost recently volunteered to cut their salaries by 10% - have announced tuition fee hikes." It clearly makes the distinction between the Ivies and stanford.</p>
<p>Edit: At the very bottom of the article it says that there was previously an error counting Stanford as an Ivy, but as of March 12th it has been fixed.</p>
<p>in entourage Lloyd mentions he graduated from Stanford business school when he tells Ari that he's WAY overqualified to be a poorly paid whipping boy</p>
<p>has anyone here read East of Eden?
There was a part near the end of the book that read: "Aaron was lonely at Stanford."
Pretty cool...LOL</p>
<p>^ Yeah, it is one of my favorite books! John Steinbeck went to Stanford! And he made his character Aron go there as well.</p>
<p>@ justwondering, Entourage is easily one of the top 5 shows on television. Easily. I want to be Ari Gold.</p>
<p>We apparently can't post YouTube links anymore, but search "Ari Gold vs Josh Weinstein"</p>
<p>"When I'm done with you, you're gonna be repping sideshow freaks. You need 'JoJo, the Dog-faced Bi+ch-Boy'? Call Josh Weinf<strong><em>, the lightweight, pen-stealing f</em></strong>face" . . . <em>takes drink...sips drink....tosses drink</em>..."That's awful."</p>
<p>ZOMG, pwned.</p>
<p>Oh I loved this!</p>
<p>Let’s see…there was a Stanford shirt in Avatar. And let’s not forget…the lovely Ms. Hannah Montana/Miley Stewart attends Stanford with her friend 
(In fact, Disney seems to have some obsession with this school)</p>
<p>Pop-culture non-references - Stealing Harvard was originally supposed to be “Stealing Stanford,” but admins declined the offer from the producers because they didn’t like the message that someone would need to resort to crime to pay for a Stanford education.</p>
<p>Legally Blonde is set at Harvard Law, but is based on Stanford Law, where the author went.</p>
<p>There was an episode in Full House where DJ was studying feverishly for the SAT to get into Stanford.</p>
<p>More recently we had the girl in Stanford underwear in bed with Justin Timberlake (as Sean Parker) in The Social Network. And there were various other references to Stanford in the film once the setting moved to Palo Alto. I liked that movie overall, but if I were female I would have been pretty offended by the depiction of women as bimbos both at Stanford and Harvard!</p>
<p>Then there’s the young adult book “Nothing But The Truth” by Justina Chen Headley, where the protagonist is a participant at SUMaC (Stanford University Mathematics Camp).</p>
<p>Yeah, we always have a good laugh at SUMaC over “Nothing But The Truth”. It’s completely ridiculous.</p>
<p>In Good Will Hunting the protagonist’s girlfriend goes to Stanford for medical school.</p>
<p>In Glee Mike Chang applies to Stanford before changing his mind about being a dancer.</p>
<p>In Supernatural, Sam Winchester was attending Stanford and about to interview for Stanford Law when his brother showed up with the news that their dad was missing.</p>
<p>Lol this is lame, but in Charlie St. Cloud, Charlie is planning to go to Stanford. ^.^</p>
<p>I think the all-time classic scene was Saved By The Bell: Jessie + Caffeine pills = I’m soooo excited!!!</p>
<p>In Castle, Richard Castle’s daughter - Alexis gets into Stanford and her ex-boyfriend Ashley also attends Stanford.</p>
<p>Here is an older reference:</p>
<p>In East of Eden by John Steinbeck, Aron Trask attends Stanford.</p>
<p>In Avatar, Sigourney Weaver’s character wears a Stanford shirt.</p>
<p>No Hannah Montanna fans in the house? I guess I have to be that guy… The entire final season revolves around Miley and Lilly planning to go to Stanford… it also makes some humorous references to Stanford when Miley gets rejected for not having enough EC’s, and when she’s there, nobody cares that she’s famous.</p>
