which schools in Texas are in the ivy league

[ChumpDumper]

which schools in Texas are in the ivy league

I feel a backdown coming.

[xmas1997]

which schools in Texas are in the ivy league

Wrong question.
What you should have asked if you had any sense, which you don't, was which Texas universities consider themselves Ivy League schools?
And if you ask me, I won't tell you.
Go ahead and ask me.
Do it, I demand you.

I know VCC was referred to as Harvard on the Guadalupe, but I was certain everyone knew it was in jest.

No such thing, you made that up.

Don't get mad.

You made a factual claim and then you immediately backed down from it.

Live with it.

There are no Ivy League schools in Texas.

No Texas school considers itself to be an Ivy League school.

They sure do, you just have no conception of it because of the diarrhea that you use in place of a brain.

Eh, you're the one afraid to discuss it now, being a member of the Backdown Krew and all..

There are schools that could be considered on par with Ivy League schools, but Ivy League schools are Ivy League schools that aren't in Texas.

It's as simple as that.

[The Reckoning]

they have UHV now tbh



and university of texas considers itself part of the public school "ivy league"

so if the cat with the assault rifle knew what he was doing (which he doesn't) that would have been a sufficient retort

Now you're quibbling over semantics.
Keep trying to explain your way out of it.
We'll read how deeper you get yourself entangled even though I somewhat agree with you after you've gone to so much trouble to define it properly for the obtuse and dense ones out there on ST.
Can you read this Blake?

lol the backdown continues.

Here, I will post a news article from a respected source to support my claim there are no Ivy League schools in Texas.

In the next month, Kwasi Enin must make a tough decision: Which of the eight Ivy League universities should he attend this fall?

A first-generation American from Shirley, N.Y., the 17-year-old violist and aspiring physician applied to all eight, from Brown to Yale.

The responses began rolling in over the past few months, and by late last week when he opened an e-mail from Harvard, he found he'd been accepted to every one. School district officials provided scanned copies of acceptance letters from all eight Monday. Yale confirmed that it was holding a spot for Enin.

The feat is extremely rare, say college counselors — few students even apply to all eight, because each seeks different qualities in their freshman class. Almost none are invited to attend them all. The Ivy League colleges are among the nation's most elite.

"My heart skipped a beat when he told me he was applying to all eight," says Nancy Winkler, a guidance counselor at William Floyd High School, where Enin attends class. In 29 years as a counselor, she says, she's never seen anything like this. "It's a big deal when we have students apply to one or two Ivies. To get into one or two is huge. It was extraordinary."

For most of the eight schools, acceptance comes rarely, even among the USA's top students. At the top end, Cornell University admitted only 14% of applicants. Harvard accepted just 5.9%.

But Enin has "a lot of things in his favor," says college admissions expert Katherine Cohen, CEO and founder of IvyWise, a New York-based consulting firm.

For one thing, he's a young man. "Colleges are looking for great boys," Cohen says. Application pools these days skew heavily toward girls: The U.S. Department of Education estimates that females comprised 57% of college students in degree-granting ins utions last year. Colleges — especially elite ones — are struggling to keep male/female ratios even, so admitting academically gifted young men like Enin gives them an advantage.

He ranks No. 11 in a class of 647 at William Floyd, a large public school on Long Island's south shore. That puts him in the top 2% of his class. His SAT score, at 2,250 out of 2,400 points, puts him in the 99th percentile for African-American students.

He will also have taken 11 Advanced Placement courses by the time he graduates this spring. He's a musician who sings in the school's a capella group and volunteers at Stony Brook University Hospital's radiology department. Enin plans to study medicine, as did both of his parents. They immigrated to New York from Ghana in the 1980s and studied at public colleges nearby. Both are nurses.

Being a first-generation American from Ghana also helps him stand out, Cohen says.

Enin says he got the idea to apply to all eight in 10th or 11th grade, discovering that each has "their own sense of school spirit" and other qualities he liked. He also applied to three State University of New York campuses and Duke — and yes, they have all accepted him.

In a phone interview, Enin said Princeton so far has offered the most generous aid package. But he has yet to get offers from Columbia, Cornell or Harvard. Either way, he'll need to accept a place in the class of 2018 somewhere by May 1. He wants to pursue both music and medicine.

Cohen says he's "sitting in a very good place right now — I think he can negotiate the very best financial aid package he can get" at his top-choice school. "Almost any of them would do anything for this type of candidate," Cohen says.

She advises that Enin call or write each of the eight and let them know that he's got a slot in each other's freshman class. They'll compete to get him to show up in the fall.

Once he decides, she says, he should write letters to the seven runners-up saying he's "honored to have been admitted." After all, he's got to keep his options open for graduate school.

And that is your ironclad proof?
What a dense and obtuse simpleton you truly are!

[ChumpDumper]

And that is your ironclad proof?

Your complete failure to support your own argument or rebut my argument is quite sufficient.

You backed down so much, you forfeited.

I mean you are free to post any evidence supporting your claim that Texas in fact has Ivy League schools in it, but for some reason you can't being yourself to put your alleged ivy League education to work here.

I fully expect you to stay backed down and post a flurry of ad hominems out of impotent rage. That's very Backdown Krew.

[The Reckoning]

as i posted above, university of texas at austin is considered a public ivy, but that's as far as it gets


ivy league is geographical lol

You sure do waste a lot of your time trying to get one up on someone.
You wasted time on my statement.
I never disagreed with you.
Rather I left much out of the description but it doesn't change anything that I did.
But you just had to correct me even though it was a half assed argument on my part to bait you into doing so.
You are so dense you don't even realize you gave my explanation all the validity it needed.

[ChumpDumper]

It's just that simple.

The hallmark of the Backdown Krew is backing down while loudly declaring they are not backing down and then trying to change the subject.

Let's watch.

You said there are Ivy League schools in Texas.

There are no Ivy League schools in Texas.

You want to retroactively make it complicated since you are angry about backing down.

Yes, I did, and there are, in the broad sense of the description which you aptly defined and agreed with me about.
All I did was decline to go into a detailed explanation, as simple as that, there was no need to define it more because they and you still do not understand, and you probably never will IMO.

You still do not understand, you are so busy busy busy trying your damned best to find the hole in the argument, even after defining it and agreeing with me that there were.
You don't even know what whether you are coming or going anymore.

It's not my fault you failed to qualify what you were talking about. You backed down from your initial statement and "somewhat agreed" with me, then got mad about it and backed down from your backing down. And now you can only attempt to save face by posting a bunch of ad hominmens that have nothing to do with anything.

It is all classic Backdown Krew behavior.

SA210 lot his when I asked him what he really thought happened on 9/11. SBM lost his when I, along with others, proved that being invited to donate money to a charity isn't quite the big deal he thought he could brag about.

Now you are losing your because you agree with my contention that there are no Ivy League universities in Texas. You could have just said "Sure, I meant to say Public Ivy -- I know that is an informal classification and I should have been more precise."

But you can't. You got all riled up and have to red-ass all over the place because you have big problems when you are challenged.

Just like SA210.

Just like SBM.

you were bragging and got burned.

Magna laude in communication.

Lmao.

I have the proof of it from a prestigious Ivy League University framed on my wall.
What do you have, zippy?
I doubt you even know the three levels and what they mean.

lol "prestigious Ivy League University"

It's pretty obvious you don't know what that means.
