CMU rated as a "new Ivy" college

[TheGerbil]

This talks about a Newsweek list of 25 "new Ivy" colleges in the US. CMU is third on the list (although it doesn't appear to be in any special order).

Very nice to see one of our fine local schools recognized. The article also briefly praises Pittsburgh for having the amenities of a larger city without the over-crowded feel.

I did see this the other day (in print) and it is great that CMU is recognized, though I think this is something that many people feel anyway (I'll take any great PR like this regardless).

I think that the schools were just listed alphabetically.
