EXCERPTS:
Did you know? There are not just the eight Ivy League colleges, but there's also Little Ivies and Ivy Adjacent.
So there's no definitive list of Little Ivies or Ivy Adjacent colleges, but Ivy Adjacent you could think of as like MIT, Stanford, big universities that people mentioned in the same breath with Ivies, but aren't necessarily. Ivy League colleges. Sometimes when I make videos about Ivy Leagues and I will reference like MIT or Stanford, people put in the comments, those aren't Ivy League colleges.
And I'm like, you're right. They're absolutely not. They're Ivy adjacent and they have the same criteria to get in as Ivy League. So from my perspective and my students perspective, same thing. Little Ivies are small liberal arts colleges, Amherst, Swarthmore, Haverford, small colleges that give an incredibly good high standard education.
Did you know there were originally nine colonial colleges which are almost the same as the colleges of the Ivy League? Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, UPenn, Brown, Dartmouth. So the only one that isn't there, Cornell, which was founded a lot later. But also, the other two colonial colleges that are not Ivy League are William and Mary and Rutgers.
So those two colleges became public colleges. So not Ivy League because the Ivy Leagues are all private colleges. A lot of people get confused because they say, oh, University of Pennsylvania, that's a public college. Mm mm. University of Pennsylvania is a private college. Penn State is a public college, so public means that they get money from the state or the federal government, where UPenn does not.

You're welcome!
The interviewers are not looking at your grades or GPA at all. They are providing a different kind of input for the admissions committee.
One other point is that admissions rates are very misleading, since they are highly affected by the number of applications rather than simply the level of difficulty of meeting the cutoff.
The Ivy League is a Division 1 sports league and in football they are in the less competitive Division 1AA. Where as Stanford is in the more competitive Division 1A. You should have started this video by explaining what the Ivy league actually is. Have to give it Yale for winning their first game in the tournament this year ( always fun to route for the underdog). Ironically, academically competitive students are competing to get into a noncompetitive college sports league.😮
Greatest video
You are the best
I want need blind scholarship and I'll not be able to pay the fees so should I apply for eay decision to ivy leagues like yale ..?
In the dc suburbs and nyc and California lots of people get no or almost no money to ivies. Cost of living is super high so salaries are high. Even 2 teachers make well over $200k combined. $350k plus is a typical salary but not enough to pay full freight or close to it at an icy
true :/
Could you make a video for international students, how to increase their chances?
Thanks in advance
that's a great suggestion! yes!
Ivy League is a group of dream schools!
I have heard!
Hi, I am 43 years old and applying to Stanford, Berkeley, and UCLA for Fall 2024 using a VA program to pay for all. I meet transfer requirements as a Philosophy major for all but I am the definition of Nontrad due to two separate military tours with 3 years of University in between. I've got a 3.65 GPA after only obtaining a GED as a kid, now I major in Philosophy with minors in Psych, Soc, and Pol Sci, but I was curious if you think I'll be taken seriously as a transfer candidate, or am I barking up the wrong trees? Thank you for this video and your time.
What an incredibly interesting question. I actually think that you qualify as a diverse candidate and will be taken extremely seriously.
- They’re going to want to know if you’re willing to live on campus, and they’ll both want you to to make you part of the overall class AND be afraid of you living with them because you’re so much older than the students. Here’s what I would do: figure out who your admissions officer is (according to region) at each school, and email them to ask to have a 30 minute meeting with them where you lay out to them what you just said here. They will give you their honest opinion about your candidacy - they have enough applicants that they will be honest with you.
- Besides that, I would reach out to professors in the departments you’re interested in in each of the universities and try to cultivate a relationship with them about their research. The sooner you can do this, the better, because this marks you as a viable candidate. I wish you the absolute best - those are incredibly hard schools to get into even if you are a traditional student.
- My other advice would be to make sure that you have some safety schools picked out that you’re excited about going to, because those schools you listed have an acceptance rate between 2 and 5%, and if you get rejected, it’s much more likely that you just hit their rejection percentage than that it has anything to do with your age or background.
Please feel free to write again if you want more advice - this is incredibly interesting to me and I’m really pulling for you!
Wat about international students???
How about families with asaets? They they lie about the 7 or 8 figures in non-retirement assets?
Hi, i was wondering if applying to financial aid lowers my chances at getting accepted to some top schools and ivies?
It will not affect your chances at highly selective schools!
@@alyssathecollegeexpert thank you!
Are there any programs that help with getting connected to colleges?
not exactly. basically, many of these colleges do have summer programs (like Stanford, MIT, etc.) but they won't really make you likelier to get into that specific college. instead, doing extracurriculars that are based on your interests will increase your chances at any college. so, for example, if you take a summer program at a good college that's about your interests, you will increase your chances of getting into all colleges.
I have twin daughters who are seniors HS and applying to college in the Fall. Since we are paying for two in college at the same time, how the net college calculution for family like us with one income?
great question! The best way to answer it is to
[1] do the FAFSA 4caster (which will tell you how the government will assess your family's financial need) - studentaid.gov/aid-estimator/
[2] google "net price calculator" + college_name for schools you're interested in (eg. "yale net price calculator") - that will tell you how much money individual institutions will give you
Thank you! This is very helpful!@@alyssathecollegeexpert
Is this applicable for international studebts?
Unfortunately these mainly apply to US students..
I miss yleana !!
We miss you too!
False...using salary only is misleading, they ask for 401k, savings and checking account balances, value of your home (even add a link to zillow)...
Please answer me Is it valable for international students
Unfortunately these mainly apply to US students..
Yoo that’s crazy
Cray cray!
yhheeelllooo
Hey Onur!
the ivy league is a sports league
🏆
Stanford=Harvard+MIT
you might be onto something!
They accept tons of mainland Chinese students as if they are legacy students. As long as your governments fund the schools well, they have no inhibition with taking in students from the Fascist or morally corrupt states. They prioritize money over the ideology.
