<p>There is a high school equivallent of the Ivy League. It is called “the 10 Schools Admissions Organization”. Like the Ivy League, it is made up of schools that are very exclusive, very rich (huge endowments), very old (half of them were founded in the 18th century) and located in the East Coast. Many of those schools were founded as feeder schools to the Ivy League and until this day, they enroll an unsually high percentage (over 25%) of their graduates into the Ivy League. The 10 are:</p>
