<p>OP: to even imagine that schools like tanford, MIT, CalTech, Duke, Mich, Cal, JHU, etc would even consider being courted by the Ivies is an affront to their own fine traditions and affiliations. It’s equivalent to saying:" You aren’t yet complete. You simply must join us dah-ling!"</p>
<p>Insulting and condescending to those fine schools (and I’m an Ivy alum)</p>
