<p>** What separates the IVY league schools from other elite schools?<br>
As a group there is nothing about the IVY league that is significantly different that other elite schools. Each of the schools has unique attirbutes that make them great places to go to school as do the other elite schools.</p>
<p>** the cut throat competative edge these schools have?
What? I’ve been to three elite schools … one of which was an IVY … and there was not any substantive difference in the level of cut-throatedness at the schools … there was very little at any of them. Persoanlly I think the descritpion of elite schools as cut throat is crap.</p>
<p>** so why go
Do go to a school with the greatest concentration of top students … which is an attribute all non-IVY elite schools also share</p>
<p>YMMV</p>
