To determine their 鈥減rivate and public Ivies鈥� list, the聽贵辞谤产别蝉鈥�聽researchers first disqualified the 鈥淎ncient Eight鈥� (Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, and Yale)鈥攁long with the what it characterized as the commonly accepted 鈥淚vy-plus鈥� universities such as the University of Chicago, Duke, MIT, and Stanford鈥攔esulting in 1,743 colleges with at least 4,000 students for their survey.
Using 2022 admissions data, they screened for colleges with high standardized test scores鈥攕chools that still heavily rely on objective measures of success鈥攁nd where at least half of the applicants supplied their scores, whether required or not.聽 Their focus on SAT or ACT results was based on findings from the non-profit research firm Opportunity Insights, which demonstrated that standardized test assessments are 鈥渂oth more predictive of success in college than grades, and fairer to all applicants,鈥� the article noted.
The researchers also screened the schools with a selectivity measure (below a 20 percent admission rate at private schools and 50 percent at public universities), resulting in 32 colleges remaining for the hiring manager respondents to assess.
