<p>Eh. Does being an Ivy in and of itself matter? Stanford and MIT aren’t Ivies, but nobody would deny that they are just good if not better than the Ivies. My experience has been that if you’re not going to HYPSM, then the average Joe on the sidewalk won’t know what your school is. By the way, I visited UChicago for admitted students weekend, and unless the Dart people really impress me, I’m coming to UofC. Also, is Dartmouth really considered a liberal arts school? That’s news to me.</p>
