I thought that the Ivy League schools were just the best most high standard schools, and considering that Stanford is one of the best, I'm surprized that it is not an Ivy League School. Is it not as good as the eight Ivy Leagues or does the "Ivy League" mean something different? Also, does wether the school is east coast or west coast matter when it comes to how good it is?
How come Stanford isn't an Ivy League school?
Ivy League isn't a league made of best schools in USA. As we know those schools ARE the best(every year in top 15), but the principle is different.
The moto of Ivy League is related to athletics: Student-Athletes need to excell outside classroom as much as inside of a classroom. Bassicaly, it meant the a student-athlete cannot join those schools without good academic background. This moto ensured that invested effort in any student would pay off.
You should also know that the Ivy League was meant to be a league of North-Eastern schools, which Stanford for example isn't.
Finally those 7 schools+Cornell (which is little younger) are way too older than Stanford (between 150 and 200 years). If you combine location and age it all goes against Stanford.
Reply:Because the Ivy League is an old football league. Really, that's all it means. It happens to contain some of the best schools, but definitely not all of them.
Reply:No, the Ivy League isn't just the best schools. It is an athletic conference, made up of a group of East Coast schools, many of which have remained excellent schools. However, it therefore doesn't include a number of other schools which may be just as good. MIT, for example, is NOT an Ivy League School. Nor is the University of Chicago, or Stanford, or a lot of other excellent schools, either because they didn't exist at the time the league was formed, or because they are not in the geographic area of the League.
Reply:The Ivy League is a set of eastern schools that all have a good reputation. Ivy League schools are not the top eight schools. MIT is near the top and it is in the East but it isn't an ivy league school either.
Most of the best schools are in the East. But, California and Chicago have also drawn some. Get the U.S. News and World Report College Ranking. It used to be online but now you either have to pay or go to the library.

Earnings for college graduates : Ivy League vs. State School?
I read an article in my Economics textbook that Ivy League graduates and State School graduates earn roughly the same salary for the same jobs, and that most Ivy League degrees are not worth the cost of high tuition. Is this true? What is your experience? What do employers really think of Ivy League grads?
Thank you for your input.
Earnings for college graduates : Ivy League vs. State School?
It also really depends on what state school you went to. If you happen to live in a state with a good state-college system (like California or Michigan) you're much better off going to a state school. I went to Berkeley and was able to do so without having to take out any loans, which probably wouldn't have been the case if I'd gone to an Ivy.
In terms of getting a job, esp. your first, having a prestigious school listed on your resume will at least get it looked at but it's really not going to make a difference in the amount of money that job offers you. And down the road, people are going to be looking more at your job performance and professional accomplishments more so than what school you attended years ago.
And actually there was a study done recently that found that CEOs tend to have attended state versus Ivy League schools. Wish I could find the link.....
Reply:The Ivy league school degree will be helpful in getting into your first job. After your first job though, it doesn't really matter so much. I'm on the hiring committee at a 2000+ employee company.
Reply:It really depends on what your future career goal is and where you want to live/work. an ivy league school will give you unparalleled access to important players in a variety of job areas and you will have a better chance of getting in with top businesses if you have an ivy league education. if you are looking to do something like say, education, it would not be worth the cost to go to an ivy league school (if, of course, you are paying full tuition). it is important to remember that in some areas such as business, the name of the school means everything for getting your foot in the door after that, it is up to you!
Reply:My friend went to Carnegie Mellon University and became in $120,000 in debt just for a bachelors degree but employers always have preference to hire him in comparison to someone from a state school. He started off with $40,00 working for a national bank, and moved on quickly in 1 year higher paid position based on his degree. He has nearly doubled his salary and working his way to get out of debt. He lived pretty poor his first year out of college.
Experience is the number one reason employers higher, they also look at personality and a strong drive to be successful, but education and learning abilities are a huge plus.

Salt Poison Ivy????????
Hey there, now will salt help your poison ivy if you put it in your bathtub? And I'm talking about like the kind that you put on your french fries and etc. NOT bath salt or anything like that! Now my question is: Does salt (like the kind on french fries) help your poison ivy go away if you put it in your bathtub and you soak in it for a while? Thanks!
Salt Poison Ivy????????
It'd probably work for a while, just don't rub it, let it soak and relax. Sea Salt WOULD probably be better.

Is Poison Ivy always itchy?
Okay, My father and I both think I have poison ivy on my right leg. But my question is, is it always itchy? Or is it like a mosquito bite that sometimes itches and sometimes don't? I mean it really sucks for the fact it's on my leg and I can't itch. But it isn't always itchy. So does this mean that it's not poison ivy or no? Just help.. =[
Is Poison Ivy always itchy?
One thing dont itch it it'll get worse if its poisin ivy,
becuase when you get poisin ivy its usually bumpy and red and itchy and yeah if you put some stuff on it it wont itch for awhile then it'll start back up. And you should go get some poisin ivy cleaser or wash if its bad. It mite be poisin oak or poisin ivy? tht could be up to a doctor take my advicee^^ and go see one.

What is the Best Ivy League College on Long Island?
I would have to say Long Island University at C.W. Post is the best. I also went to Adelphi, but C.W. Post just seems to be more rigorous in their standards. Hofstra I am sure ranks up there, but I never attended that school.
I have come across individuals who think that the above mentioned schools are not Ivy League. Clearly they are as they are very expensive, private, very difficult to get into and tend to cater to upper middle-class students. Some people claim there are only 8 or so Ivy League schools. Granted, those may be the original, but others have achieved Ivy League status. LOL, and I wouldn't use U.S. News %26amp; World Report or Newsweek rankings as legitimate meters to judge schools, those are only opinions.
What is the Best Ivy League College on Long Island?
You received some very good insight which you incorrectly dismissed. There are only 8 Ivy League schools. While there are obviously other very good academic institutions, the Ivy League refers to the inter-collegiate athletic conference making up 8 New England schools (Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Penn, Princeton, and Brown).
The term "Ivy League" therefore can only refer to these schools, and you're incorrect in assuming all exceptional schools which cater to certain demographics should be designated as such.

Do I Have Poison Ivy???
I was hanging out at a stream by my house that I got to almost everyday. We were walking down it and we slipped on a rock and fell on tons of plant that looked like poison ivy. I saw my friend again the next day and she said that she had bumps all over her legs, and I had them too. Normally she doesn't get bug bites and I always get them and they don't feel and look like bug bites at all. Do you think we have poison ivy or something like poison ivy???
Do I Have Poison Ivy???

Reply:poison ivy looks like rash and very ichy. its unbearable and looks like rash and red hurts in fact and so bad yu have to be up all nite scratching. it spreads very much i dont' think so.
Reply:my be something./like that
Reply:Yes that sound possible.
Poison ivy is just a poison which causes an alergic reaction. The bumps one gets from a mosquito bite is also an alergic reaction to a poison. Some folks are not affected by poison ivy while most of us are. Poison ivy has a tendency to spread, and especialy if you get hot and sweaty. The best treatment I have found for poison ivy is taking to much bennadryl, and using benadryl cream at the same time, on the bumps. I have had poison ivy, and other alergic reactions spread all over my body before. When it starts to get into your eyes you can go to a doctor and get steroids. Usually you can stop a small reaction with rest, and bennadryl though.
Yes you probably have a poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac reaction.
Reply:Probably. Poison ivy is really itchy.

I am highly allergic to all three. Does it itch? There is nothing you can do for it now just try to scratch it bc you dont want to burst the bubbles open, you run the risk of getting infection when you have those open sores. Try Super Ivy Dry or a Aveno Oat Bath to sooth the itch. It will ooze, dry up, scab up and go away in about 10 days. Good luck
Reply:sounds like it
Reply:Poison ivy has 3 leaves on it.
If you have it, it looks more like a bumpy rash than a bug bite
If you have it, don't worry. Just put some Calamine lotion on it and wait for it to go away. Don't scratch it.
Reply:Symptoms
Itching
Burning skin
Redness of the skin
Blisters
Swelling
Home Treatment
Wash the area immediately with soap and water. Quickly washing the area can prevent a reaction, but it doesn't usually help if done more than 1 hour after touching the plant's sap.
Carefully wash any contaminated objects or clothing alone in hot soapy water. Do not let the items touch any other clothing or materials.
An over-the-counter antihistamine such as Benadryl or a steroid cream may help relieve itching.
