BC? Seriously? BC is beyond overrated academically. And where's Duke and Stanford? Another questionable list.
Agreed 100%. BC is literally ONE spot ahead of us in USNews and we may pass them in this iteration and USC has far too many students to be a 2nd Tier Ivy. Switch BC/USC for Duke/Stanford.It’s actually not an awful list….but BC? Really??? That’s just despicable.
I’d swap out BC & USC for Stanford & Duke.
Any such list like this is completely suspect without Duke and Stanford.

Yeah we already are in agreement that BC and USC should be out and Duke and Stanford should be in if this was a true 2nd Tier Ivy League.Any such list like this is completely suspect without Duke and Stanford.
The article this list came from threw Duke and Stanford in as ivy-like and purposefully left them off the list.Yeah we already are in agreement that BC and USC should be out and Duke and Stanford should be in if this was a true 2nd Tier Ivy League.
Yeah we eviscerated their "Public Ivies" list when they put SUNY Binghamton over RU-NB who is the #1 academic public in the Northeast as per USNews Rankings.The article this list came from threw Duke and Stanford in as ivy-like and purposefully left them off the list.
“Aside from the eight Ivy League schools and four Ivy-plus schools — Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Chicago, Stanford University and Duke University — Forbes selected colleges based on exclusivity and a survey of hiring managers it conducted to establish what it is calling "New Ivies."
Stewart Mandel (Northwestern) says hello. He has been awfully quiet about Rutgers lately.We all know someone who went to one of those schools on this list.
If they weren’t insufferable then, they certainly will be now.🙄
It seems that all halfway decent universities have become much more competitive in the last four years. Rutgers recently touted their admissions stats, and Rutgers is closer to 10% acceptance rate. Not sure of the value in the ranking of education quality. If it is of value, We R B1Gger and Better than BCBC’s admissions became much more competitive in the last four years. The latest class has a 15% acceptance rate. Their very high selectivity is a recent phenomenon. I’m not sure why or how they pulled this off, but the numbers don’t lie. Here is the link;

We do fire safety inspections of different types of buildings throughout the year. Years ago when still working in the City some of those buildings I inspected were owned by NYU. Met a guy who had all his kids get in because that’s what he did at NYU. The longer his tenure, the more of his kids qualified to get in this way.I said it before and will say it again
I would be more qualified to work janitorial services at RU now, than be a student

Why does USNWR have a 66% acceptance rate and this guy says it’s 10%?It seems that all halfway decent universities have become much more competitive in the last four years.

10% is not accurate. I think the number is probably in the mid to high 30% area. RU had a yield rate of 35% to get to that class size. I think the next goal is to get better yield so they don’t have to accept as many.Why does USNWR have a 66% acceptance rate and this guy says it’s 10%?
Yes you’re correct.10% is not accurate. I think the number is probably in the mid to high 30% area. RU had a yield rate of 35% to get to that class size. I think the next goal is to get better yield so they don’t have to accept as many.
BC is a good school. Don’t understand your comments about your daughter or US News.Lot of hate here. BC is a great school w/ a 16% acceptance rate. My daughter didnt get into BC early admission, but got into Rutgers NB.
USNews is garbage, it values Pell Grants, debt and 1st generation students more than standardized tests. 3 things that have nothing to do with education and are more about diversity.
You think RU would accept 34,200 kids and hope they only yield 25%? What if more kids accept? There’s only so many spaces available.Rutgers acceptance rate is not 10% unless that value is possibly for a particular program. It is probably somewhere between 45-55% for 2024 (down from 66% in 2023) to guarantee a particular number os desired enrollees. With the switch to the common app that increased the number of applicants Rutgers can become even more selective. They can also accept more out of state applicants and take the added tuition revenue as well. Rutgers reputation has grown very positively over the past few years.

Either that, or he’s a colossal a-hole
There’s a public list and a private list. The tweet posted only shows the private.Every one of the schools on the list is private. That tells you all you need to know. Perception is the driving factor in this case.
Binghamton has no business being on that list. Non bias aside, RU-NB should be in Binghamton's place.There’s a public list and a private list. The tweet posted only shows the private.

These universities may be the 'new ivy' league schools, Forbes says, and several are in the Midwest
The magazine’s ‘New Ivies” consists of 10 public universities and 10 private colleges, and many of them are in the Midwest.www.nbcchicago.com

I think it depends on what Rutgers wants for their student profile. Maybe the rate is lower but they sure are not accepting only 10% of the 66,000 that applied.You think RU would accept 34,200 kids and hope they only yield 25%? What if more kids accept? There’s only so many spaces available.
BC is a fine school but it’s not in the same category as most of the others on the list.Lot of BC hate but guessing it's football driven. I've been blown away by how impressive the kids we recruit from BC are.
UCLA isn't "arguably better than USC," they are!BC?? Haha yeah okay.
Stanford not even on that list ?? How is that possible
Drop BC like 30 spots. USC is questionable (arguably ucla is even better than them)
Wasn’t it the most selective school in the country this past few years?UCLA isn't "arguably better than USC," they are!
Think it’s the most applied to school with 130k applicants. Not the most selective because it is a public school with a big class.Wasn’t it the most selective school in the country this past few years?
Seemed to have read that somewhere, maybe here.🤷♂️
