No, Ivy League Schools are all on the east coast. However, Stanford, which is in California, is a highly commended, excellent university, which rates as highly as ivy leagues on the league tables.
The Ivy League was created as an agreement between the component schools. Therefore, they all became Ivies at once and there is no 'first' Ivy. However, of the schools that we now call the Ivies, Harvard was founded first in 1636. It is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Almost all Ivy League universities are private. The exception is Cornell, which includes both private and public colleges.
Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore are all smaller then any of the Ivy League schools and are commonly referred to as baby Ivy due to their student size.They provide an excellent rigor, teacher to student ratio.
Vanderbilt University, all of the Ivy League Schools and there are many, many more!
Grants. State college or community college. Avoid Ivy League schools at all costs.
It all depends on what college the students currently attend and what their current grades are.
It has been traditional among the Ivy League colleges and universities to not give out athletic scholarships. These schools believe that sports are not the primary reason for attending school. Athletes may participate in their many sports programs however, no scholarships.
Not technically. Vanderbilt is a member of the Southeastern Conference, but it consistently ranks among the Ivy League schools with regard to academics, as it is 18th in the U.S. News rankings for 2008. Vanderbilt is known as one of the most prestigious schools in the South and for this reason is sometimes referred to as the Harvard of the South. In addition to Duke, Emory, Rice, etc., Vanderbilt is often referred to as a "Southern Ivy". These are all among the top 20 schools in the United States.
Ivy League schools all offer top-notch programs, as do Stanford, Northwestern, BU, Duke and others.
Yes, but it only competes with the ivy league schools. So it is what we call Division 1 Ivy. It still competes with all Division 1 teams in the NCAA tournament.
Yale and all other Ivy League schools do not award athletic scholarships. All scholarships are awarded are on a 'financial aid needed' basis only.
