What is an Ivy League school?
The first recorded usage of the term “Ivy League” was by a sportswriter in 1933 and was a general reference to the older, and therefore “ivy covered,” schools in the Northeast. The Ivy League athletic association was formally established in 1954 and now comprises eight schools: Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania. While most of these schools are certainly capable of providing a good education, it’s what you do with your education that counts.
