The only team close is Vandy and it's not close.

Not a bad thread to end the off season.

Actually, Vandy is more difficult than the top ivys. US News has badly damaged the ivys by emphasizing retention and graduation rates so much. Now, you almost can't fail out of an ivy. It's the same at Vandy, but not quite as bad. They want to protect their ranking so badly that they'll do anything to keep piss-poor students in school.
What the ivys are really noted for is extraordinary doctoral programs, extreme difficulty in gaining entrance, and a deep-seated hatred of western civilization, especially the USA. And merit is not the main factor in admissions; it's money and connections. Al Gore's child, with a 28 on her ACT, will get in, while yours or mine with a 35 won't. Only extreme merit - Einstein will get in - will get you in if you don't have connections.
