<p>I know Stanford isn’t an Ivy. What I meant by that statement is that I think prospective college students nowadays are growing more weary of the supposed “stuffiness” of Ivy League schools, as opposed to schools like Stanford and USC. Not saying that’s true or not, but that’s definitely how it is at my high school. No one really wants to go to Dartmouth or Cornell or even Yale, they wanna go to “happening” schools like Columbia, Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern or other universities that are near large cities.</p>
<p>But this is all one big generalization on my part. :)</p>
