| no, vandy isn't on par with HYP and other ivies. While ivy league is a sports conference, even before founding of the ivy leauge, each ivy school was prominent, prestigious institutions. Very few people in the East or in the Midwest associate Vandy as an elite insitution equivalent to ivy schools...It is still an excellent school, and its rep and academics are impressive. But, going by pure prestige and "wow" factor, only Duke, Stanford, MIT, and few others are on par with ivies. |
