Vanderbilt was named as one of the next generation of Ivy League schools.
In recent years, the Ivy Leagues have faced numerous critiques over admissions policies, grade inflation and response to campus protests. Amid this backlash the Ivies have faced, Forbes created a new group of Ivy Leagues of 20 prestigious public and private universities.
The schools on Forbes’ list are ones that produce graduates that are highly sought after by employers. These 20 universities are what Forbes is introducing as the “New Ivies—the 10 public universities and 10 ascendant private ones turning out the smart, driven graduates craved by employers of all types.”
Here is what the list says.
What schools are considered Ivy League?
Currently, eight universities are included in the elite Ivy League category.
These universities are: Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth University, Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University and Yale University. Other universities have the prestige of the Ivy Leagues but are not included in the elite eight. Schools like the University of Chicago, Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Duke University are all schools that fit this criteria.
What is the next generation of Ivy League universities
Forbes analyzed 1,742 colleges and universities that have at least 4,000 students, admissions data and standardized test scores for the SAT and ACT. For private universities, admissions had to be below 20%, and public universities had to be below 50%.
