What you didn’t know and what you need to know about the world’s most illustrious collegiate group… The Ivy League is a sports conference for a select group of universities and colleges from the Northeastern United States that share a reputation for excellence and prestige. Despite the group’s founding as a sports conference, the constituent members work closely together on other aspects of university life and the conference’s name now transcends its sports conference heritage to the extent that “Ivy League” has become a byword for the elite tier of universities and colleges in the United States and, indeed, internationally. We take a detailed look into the history and antecedent circumstances that gave us the most famous brand in academia.
The Elite Eight is a an informal moniker applied to a group of highly-selective boarding schools in the United States that are considered to be the most exclusive schools in the country. Whilst many of the schools are known to consider one another as equals and often collaborate with one another with respect to common admissions practices or their participation in formal associations (such as the Eight Schools Association – with which the term is sometimes erroneously associated, or the Ten Schools Admission Organization), the Elite Eight is not an official body. Nonetheless, it is a common term used by prospective pupils and admissions agents assisting families with attaining places to such elite prep schools.

The Select 16 is an informal term applied to sixteen of the most prestigious boarding schools in the United States. The term was first coined in 1986 by authors Peter W. Cookson, Jr. and Caroline Hodges Persell in their book ‘Preparing for Power: America’s Elite Boarding Schools’. The term was devised to illustrate the select group of schools that had presented the highest number of students for matriculation into the Ivy League colleges and other elite institutions across America. The schools in the Select 16 have long-been considered amongst the most selective and exclusive boarding schools in the United States with famous alumni and large endowments.
