Lower Ivy
An elitist term used to denote schools that are relatively less selective and thus generally seen as less prestigious within the Ivy League. These schools are Brown, University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, and Cornell.
Admission Rates in 2021:
Harvard, 3.4%
Columbia, 3.7%
Princeton, 4%
Yale, 4.6%
Brown, 5.4%
University of Pennsylvania, 5.7%
Dartmouth, 6.2%
Cornell, 14.1% (2020)
Lauren Rivera, a professor at the Northwestern Kellogg School of Management, mentions in her publication "Ivies, Extracurriculars, and Exclusion: Elite Employers' Use of Educational Credentials," that "Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, and University of Pennsylvania (general studies) were frequently described as 'second tier' schools that were filled primarily with candidates who 'didn’t get in' to a super-elite school."
As the quote implies, the Wharton School, which is the business school of the University of Pennsylvania, is generally excluded from the lower ivy designation as an exception.

God, I've wanted to go to an Ivy League school since kindergarten. Even a lower ivy would be good enough.

TLDU
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
Me: Woah! TLDU!
