<p>Something just seems absurd about sub-dividing the Ivy League (EIGHT schools!) into three separate tiers. I mean, I know HYP’s image far surpasses Dartmouth’s or Brown’s, but in terms of the actual education, how much difference can their really be? Is that difference really substantial enough to constitute “second tier” and “first tier” Ivies? “Third tier” Ivy? All of these recent publicity stunts (Harvard’s increased financial aid to upper middle-class students, last year’s elimination of EA policies among Harvard and Princeton, etc.), what do they add to the education? I mean, we’re talking about colleges, not Donald Trump’s face.</p>
