Private schools all have high tuitions and, of course, if you can't pay it you're SOL, but I can guarantee you that money doesn't rein supreme. With the level of competition today grades and extracaricullar activities matter. They actually matter a lot.

For those of you who are looking to, or have family members interested, in attending an IV league institution your BEST bet to get noticed amongst a long list of over acheivers is to build up a SOLID case regarding your CHARACTER. This might seem like a catch phrase, but in the eyes of admissions personale it's something they look for.

what the hell is an IV league institution? does that stand for the number 4... or intravenous?

^^^ Morons. Do you guys know where the terms Ivy league comes from??? It seems some of you don't. Then go learn you something!

People tend to call IV league schools "Ivy" out of ignorance, but the term comes from the old days when a group of highly prestigious universities were in the IV (yes Romen numeral) sports league. From there people began to refer to them as "Ivy" out of ignorance and they still do today.

zooms, you moron, you are pulling things out of your ass....

read.....Ivy League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The first usage of "Ivy" in reference to a group of colleges is from sportswriter Stanley Woodward (1895-1965).

“A proportion of our eastern ivy colleges are meeting little fellows another Saturday before plunging into the strife and the turmoil."

The Ivy League's name derives from the ivy plants, symbolic of their age, that cover many of these institutions' historic buildings

A common folk etymology attributes the name to the Roman numerals for four (IV), asserting that there was such a sports league originally with four members.

Origin of the name
The first usage of "Ivy" in reference to a group of colleges is from sportswriter Stanley Woodward (1895-1965).

“ A proportion of our eastern ivy colleges are meeting little fellows another Saturday before plunging into the strife and the turmoil. ”
—Stanley Woodward, New York Tribune, October 14, 1933, describing the football season[22]


According to book Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins (1988 ), author William Morris writes that Stanley Woodward actually took the term from fellow New York Tribune sportswriter Caswell Adams. Morris writes that during the 1930s, the Fordham University football team was running roughshod over all its opponents. One day in the sports room at the Tribune, the merits of Fordham's football team were being compared to Princeton and Columbia. Adams remarked disparagingly of the latter two, saying they were "only Ivy League." Woodward, the sports editor of the Tribune, picked up the term and printed the next day.

Ok I won't argue that there does exist several versions of how and why of "Ivy", but as a guy who graduated from an Ivy league school, I think I know the controversy a bit better you 14cents.

Do a bit more research than just wiki and you'll find that it all started with sports. First rowing and then football. Some of the first universities in the country used to compete in these sports and were "typically" known as an Ivy school. It wasn't till much much later that other, and newer, universities joined these schools in competition.

I'll try to find some more info for you, but please do look a bit deeper than just wiki.
