(1) The Ivy League is not a supposed measure of academic excellence – it’s an athletic conference.

(2) Some of the colleges in the Ivy League are at polar extremes of educational philosophy – think Brown, with an open curriculum, and Columbia with a very rigid ‘core’.

(3) If you were more secure in knowing why you wanted to apply to Cornell and UPenn, you wouldn’t be so ‘touchy’ about the label.
