Ivy League or close ? - uncapentin - 04-14-2022
I'm just curious. Has anyone applied to a top named or Ivy League school, with a Big 3 or next 9 degree and been accepted for grad school ?

I think that there's a guy who got into a top law school (possibly accepted into a couple others) after a Big3 degree? I think most students here don't have the money for an Ivy League degree, even if they wanted it, so we're not going to hear much about such things.

I live near Cornell and it's 1000% not in my budget. Nor are most programs available online which is what I really need. I have the grades to be accepted, but I also don't have 2 years to be on campus completing a degree that I can complete online in under a year. Keep in mind that Ivy League actually refers to a sports division which is really an odd thing to be based on considering what people have come to assume about the Ivies.

What's a next 9 degree? I think that's the first time someone mentioned "next 9"... let me see, there have been a few people from the Big 3 and CBE providers going onto Ivy League and Top 50 schools, someone even became a professor at Harvard!

Does HES count ?...

Charter Oak publishes a partial list of graduate acceptances which includes Columbia, Harvard, Penn, and Yale for four out of the eight official Ivies. Other acceptances there include Johns Hopkins, MIT, and Oxford.

I know several from this board have done Georgia Tech and HES. Too be fair the entry isn't very competitive for those programs.
RE: Ivy League or close ? - ss20ts - 04-14-2022
What's HES?
RE: Ivy League or close ? - rachel83az - 04-14-2022
HES = Harvard Extension School

DUH LOL
HES is not the same as being accepted into Harvard though. You're not a Harvard alumni which is kind of weird. But it's Harvard. They do strange things.
