articleThere are some "New Ivies" in town, and one Pennsylvania university made the cut! Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburg is the only school in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware to be named in Forbes' new list of the top schools beyond those with the once-coveted distinction. Classified as a "New Private Ivy," Forbes says schools like Carnegie Mellon "are attracting the smartest students and plaudits from employers." The Pennsylvania university has an undergrad enrollment of 6,816, an acceptance rate of 11%, and average scores of 1540 for the SAT and 35 for the ACT. Forbes declared that "something feels distinctly off on Ivy League campuses" and has for years, noting the traditional elite institutions are seeing their reputations increasingly tarnished by anti-Israel agitators.
