You can't just declare a school is an Ivy League school to promote it in Forbes or for any other reason.

It's an historical designation.

This is just dumb and pisses me off.

It‘s a sports conference, right?
Is the sports conference still being organized?
A school can join the sports conference and be a member of the League? Shrug

I think the schools made up the sports conference so you'd still have to attend.

Then there were/ are the Seven Sisters. There are some of them I'd have
chosen over any of the Ivy League for a four year degree, depending on the time/ their policy, my sex, etc., e.g. Vassar.

Then there's co educational schools, e.g. Williams, Amherst,
Wesleyan University, I'd have chosen over any Ivy League school for a four year degree as well.

Women have an advantage of opportunities when it comes 'elite' liberal arts colleges

But the American psyche seems preoccupied with-- "Ivy League."

I think that's dumb.
