<p>I’ve been seeing this thread title for about 2 months and I finally decided to read it. </p>
<p>Overall, the reason that there is some deliberation over what schools sh/would be included is that (point blank) there are not 8 schools on this coast that are comparable to the overall caliber of the Ivy League schools on any basis.</p>
<p>So what the hell is the point of this?</p>
<p>killmyentourage- stanford, UCLA, UCB, caltech, and to a certain extent USC have departments that are comparable in ranking with ivy league schools</p>
<p>I never said that there weren’t SOME schools, I said that there were not EIGHT schools that were comparable. For the sake of argument, I don’t understand the need to go slumming to fill in the remainder of the list.</p>
<p>This is a “just for fun” thread, not intended to make tempers flare, and yes, of course I’m biased!!</p>
<p>GO AGS!!</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>Bumping your own thread repeatedly (4 times) doesn’t mean that people still want to talk about it…</p>
<p>Sometimes you have to let things die!</p>
<p>I consider myself well versed in colleges around the country, but I have never in my life heard of these four.</p>
<p>Pomona College
Claremont McKenna
Harvey Mudd College
Pitzer College</p>
<p>Am I missing something here? Maybe because I live in Nor-cal…</p>
<p>^ all of those are part of the claremont schools, which i should also mention are also liberal arts schools. Pomona stands up with Amherst, oberlin, and other similar schools. Harvey-Mudd stands toe-to-toe with MIT and Caltech.</p>
