"New Ivies" is a term coined by Newsweek and Kaplan, Inc. in the 2007 edition of their annual publication How to Get into College Now. The "New Ivy" colleges and universities are schools in the United States which offer "competitive academics" and "first-rate facilities" and are highly selective in their admissions processes. The implication of the designation is that the schools offer a comprable academic experience to that which is found at one of the eight universities of the U.S. Ivy League.
The "New Ivies" are:
- Bowdoin College - Brunswick, Maine
- Carnegie Mellon University - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- The Claremont Colleges - Claremont, California
- Colby College - Waterville, Maine
- Colgate University - Hamilton, New York
- Davidson College - Davidson, North Carolina
- Emory University - Atlanta, Georgia
- Kenyon College - Gambier, Ohio
- Macalester College - St. Paul, Minnesota
- University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, Michigan
- New York University - New York, New York
- University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, North Carolina
- University of Notre Dame - South Bend, Indiana
- Olin College of Engineering - Needham, Massachusetts
- Reed College - Portland, Oregon
- Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - Troy, New York
- Rice University - Houston, Texas
- University of Rochester - Rochester, New York
- Skidmore College - Sarasota Springs, New York
- Tufts University - Medford, Massachusetts
- University of California - Los Angeles, California
- Vanderbilt University - Nashville, Tennessee
- University of Virginia - Charlottesville, Virginia
Noticeably absent from this list are U.S. schools that have an established reputation of being academically comparable to Ivy League schools. The Newsweek article identifies these schools as Stanford University, the University of Chicago, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the California Institute of Technology, Williams College, Amherst College, Middlebury College, Swarthmore College, and Wesleyan College.
