Penn is an ivey?
Yeah, so is Brown. Princeton is solid in the hard sciences, too, as is Columbia (quite a number of Nobels). Don’t know about Yale and the others, though I would suspect they are solid too.
Large endowments help a lot. It helps to offer endowed chairs and other goodies to the star professoriate once they bubble up through the state university ranks.
