Despite being considered among the most selective colleges in the United States, with admission rates from 4% to 9%, Ivy League schools show up frequently in fiction. In teen dramas, a main character (or two) will always get accepted into an Ivy League school. Expect this to become a key part of high school senior year stress, whether the character is trying to get into a certain Ivy League school, or deciding between an Ivy League college far away from home and a local college that keeps the show in the same setting. For Real Life perspective, of the 20-21 million US college undergrads across the United States at any given time, only about 65,000-70,000 of them are in the Ivy League...a percentage of about 0.3%, and this includes international students as well, meaning the amount of American students is even lower. For graduate students (whether it be law, medicine, engineering, academia, etc.), the ratio is slightly less competitive of about 90,000-100,000 US graduate students out of about 3 million, a percentage of 3%, which again includes international students, often more than undergrad. Needless to say, the median American college student, let alone the median American teenager, does not attend or get into the Ivy League, and most likely don't even apply, knowing they will not make it. In a particularly extreme version of this trope, there will be an "Ivy League or nothing!" mentality implying that if a character doesn't get into an Ivy League school, then their only other option is going to community college and hopefully learning how to tell when their pimp is cutting their crack with baking soda. If they get in, don't expect the characters to actually discuss their coursework or major, the name is enough to convince the audience that it's prestigious and important and that's all that matters. In the case that we're past the high school setting, this information will commonly show up in a character's educational background. Usually this will be done as a shorthand to show that a character is either smart, ambitious, or filthy rich. The rule about not discussing coursework also holds at this stage, so expect characters to somehow get stellar grades even when they're never actually seen studying at any point. This has been popularized in part by Author Appeal—if a writer went to the Ivy Leagues, they might enjoy name-dropping the institution to show off how cool they are. Beyond that, it's just plain convenient - saying that a character came from or is going to a prestigious university is a quick way to show the audience they're well-educated, hardworking or intelligent, and beyond that more prestigious colleges simply have national or even international name recognition less prestigious schools won't. A few institutions that aren't actually in the Ivy League but have strong reputations in certain contexts also count for this trope. Engineering hopefuls always go to MIT or Caltech. Juilliard is this for the performing arts. Elite West Coast students go to Stanford, UC Berkeley (especially as shorthand for them having left-leaning politics), USC (especially if they're a film student), and UCLA. Before the Ivies went co-ed, the Seven Sisters schools were this for women. In Japanese stories, the college of choice is typically Tokyo University, or "Todai". Compare to Elite School Means Elite Brain, Geniuses Have Multiple PhDs. Contrast California University. |

Hollyhock eventually starts attending Wesleyan, and Bojack briefly begans teaching there so he could bond more with her. One imagine's she's able to afford it because she has eight fathers to fund it. |

RENT: The ambitious, straitlaced girlfriend of Maureen, Joanne, is a public interest lawyer who received her degree from Harvard Law School. The stage show elaborates a little more on where Joanne falls in this trope as her parents have a lot of connections — her mom is about to become a diplomat and they are hanging out with a Senator over the holidays. It's mentioned in "Tango: Maureen" that she went to Miss Porter's, a very selective all-girl boarding school in New England. | |

Mission Hill — Kevin aspires to attend into Yale. He spends an entire episode trying to "crack" the supposed secret code in the SAT's believing that only a perfect score can get him into Yale, with help from a reclusive computer expert who was trying to get into Princeton. In an unfinished episode, he fakes a terminal illness to gain admittance. | |

Quite a few characters in The Simpsons have gone to Ivy League. This is doubtlessly inspired by how many of the writers are Harvard graduates, specifically writers for the Harvard Lampoon: Mr. Burns is a Yale alum, as part of his general "old money" characterization. Sideshow Bob is also an alumnus of Yale, and is dismissive of his brother Cecil's history at Princeton ("clown college" as far as he's concerned). Snake/Jailbird attended Princeton, but took a year off, presumably never to return. Lisa fervently hopes to go to an Ivy League School when she reaches college age, and not just any Ivy League school, either. She has a mini-freakout at the thought that she might have to settle for Brown. Of course, there's nothing wrong with Brown — after all, bus driver and drug enthusiast Otto nearly got tenure there. In a flash-forward episode she's seen obtaining a scholarship to Yale. In another one, she goes to Harvard instead. Speaking of Otto, a throwaway gag in "Team Homer" has him playing a "prize-crane" arcade machine, with one of the prizes inside he hopes to win being a Harvard diploma. (This was partially a joke on how Mike Scully, the episode's writer, was one of the few writers on staff who didn't go to Harvard.) In an episode where the whole family is arrested, Lisa worries that she'll never get into an Ivy League college now. Cue Bart mockingly singing "You're going to Staaanford! You're going to Staaanford!" Sideshow Mel is an alumnus of Cornell. Lionel Hutz claims to have graduated from Princeton. As you might expect, Princeton has never had a law school. Barney Gumble was Harvard bound until Homer introduced him to beer the night before he took his SATs. Lindsay Naegle has an MBA from the Wharton School, Penn's business college. Mrs. Krabappel has a masters from Bryn Mawr. Prof. Frink attended Cornell, which he deems the worst Ivy League university. He got in for not exposing the admission test's flaws. "The Front" has a bit where it's revealed that most of the writers of The Itchy & Scratchy Show went to Harvard (a bit of Self-Deprecation, as they're also universally shown to be hacks). When Roger Meyers Jr. throws his nameplate at one of them, the writer tries to shoot back with another one of these. |

In 1776, John Adams went to Harvard. Slightly played with as Adams stating this during a congressional debate only evokes derisitory laughter and results in his opponent Thomas Jefferson dryly countering that he attended William & Mary - at which the other delegates applaud. As a result, this exchange is rather popular amongst William and Mary students. | |

Half-Life, where all the named scientists we know of came from elite universities. Justified in that a place like Black Mesa would be on the lookout for people with such outstanding qualifications. Gordon Freeman earned a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from MIT before he turned 27! Eli Vance has a doctorate from Harvard, as he proudly displays with his Harvard t-shirt. Issac Kleiner worked as one of Freeman's professors at MIT, and worked in the same department at Black Mesa, so he presumably received his doctorate in physics there. Gina Cross from Decay has a Ph.D in electrical engineering from Caltech. She's 25, according to the manual. |

Dumbing of Age: Dorothy aspires to be admitted to Yale and leave Indiana University. She receives an acceptance letter from Yale's undergraduate equivalent about the time second semester begins, though her hastily covering it up shows something had changed about her aspirations. As she later admits to Becky (who found the acceptance letter), she plans to turn it down because they only accepted her once she resubmitted her application to talk about being in the hostage situation in the first semester, but she felt guilty about using that day-a day that ended with Becky losing her father, Amber also losing her father, and Mike dying of his injuries-as a stepping stone to her future greatness. Becky is annoyed that Dorothy is holding herself back because of her dad's actions, and pointed out that she is going to have to do much worse things than exploiting a traumatic situation for personal gain if she wants to make it in politics. (Also she was looking forward to having the dorm room to herself so she can canoodle with Dina.) | |

If we're counting law schools, the US Supreme Court was made up entirely of Harvard and Yale alums with the half-exception of Ruth Bader Ginsburg before her death in 2020. She started law school at Harvard, but transferred to Columbia when her husband took a job in New York City. Both of Obama's nominees — Sotomayor and Kagan — got their bachelors' at Princeton. Obama himself went to Harvard Law School and was the first black President of the Harvard Law Review. And the latter part of his undergraduate career was spent at Columbia — however, for the first couple of years he studied at Occidental College which... is not an Ivy League school. Trump's first nominee, Neil Gorsuch, also got his bachelor's at Columbia and JD at Harvard—though unlike Obama, he did all of his undergrad work at Columbia. Trump's second nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, earned both his bachelor's and JD at Yale. Finally averted with Trump's third nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, who had no Ivy League education at all—she earned her bachelor's at Rhodes College, a well-regarded liberal arts school in Memphis but by no means an Ivy, and her JD at Notre Dame, likewise a well-regarded but non-Ivy school. The Ivies returned in full force with Biden's only nominee so far, Ketanji Brown Jackson, who earned both her BA and JD at Harvard. | |

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: Part of the convoluted backstory that Hayasaka made for her butler disguise for whenever Fujiwara comes over is being a Harvard graduate. Shirogane mentions during the parent teacher conferences that he was going to attend Stanford. He actually ends up getting accepted a year early and leaves Shuchi'in halfway through third year to start attending. Kaguya was originally supposed to go with him, but circumstances involving her family forced her to withdraw her initial application and put off attending until after graduation. Maki's character profile in the final volume also revealed that she applied on a whim because both Kaguya and Shriogane were going and ended up attending alongside them. |

Batman: Bruce Wayne went to an Ivy League school, fitting his old money WASP backstory, but which one (and what his degree was in) varies by the story and adaptation. One March 1974 issue suggests he earned an LL.B from Yale University. The Dark Knight Trilogy has him dropping out of Princeton University short of graduation. So on and so forth. | |

The Flintstones shows Bedrock is home of "Prinstone University," a prehistoric version of Princeton; its archrival in the "Poison Ivy League" is "Shale" (Yale's Stone Age counterpart). Fred is briefly enrolled at Prinstone in one episode (where he mainly plays for its football team). The 90s TV-movie "Hollyrock-A-Bye Baby" has Wilma's mother hope one day her great-grandchildren get to attend Prinstone. | |

In Gargoyles, "Dominique Destin" is quite impressed that the woman applying for a job as her assistant graduated from the Sorbonne. Of course, since this woman is actually one of the new Hunters and Dominique is the gargoyle Demona, it's possible that this was a lie just so that she could get the job and investigate her new boss's identity. | |

In the third The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants book, when the Four-Girl Ensemble have their last summer together before college, it's noted that although Bridget is the "sloppiest student" of the four, she got into Brown. The other three end up going to the Rhode Island School of Design, NYU's film school, and Williams College, not actually Ivy League but all comparably prestigious. | |

From Pani Poni Dash!, Child Prodigy Rebecca Miyamoto graduated from MIT at the age of ten, though in the manga she tells people she went to Columbia, simply because it's easier to pronounce than "Massachusetts." Might be because in the first episode of the anime, Rei (teasingly, it turns out) asked where Becky studied. Becky answered "MIT", whereupon Rei asked what it stood for. Becky continually stumbles over "Massachusetts" and when she finally notices the class's reaction, she notices Rei and the others snickering over her stuttering because it sounds like rapid-fire farts. Cue "Hau-Hau"-ing and Curtain Camouflage, because she's still an 11-year-old. | |

One comic in Kevin & Kell suggested in that Funny Animal universe, the Ivy League schools were only open to species that could eat ivy, at least until diversity became a issue. (Lindesfarne apparently got acceptance letters from all the schools, but she chose to go to the closer-to-home Beige University instead.) | |

Daria: Deconstructed. Daria applies to Bromwell, implied to be an alternate version of Yale, but doesn't get in despite her excellent grades; her boyfriend does, in large part because he has a family legacy. She goes through a version of the "Ivy League or nothing" version of this trope herself before her mother helps her realize that her second choice college is also a very fine school. Also Played With regarding Jodie—she does get accepted into Crestmore (possibly a Harvard analogue, since it's alumni are "literally running this country") but would rather go to Turner, a historically black college that her father and grandmother both graduated from. Her parents eventually allow this, though she says she may still transfer to Crestmore after a year or two. |

Subverted by Edwin O'Connor's novel The Last Hurrah, in which the Harvard-educated characters are clearly singled out as exceptions to the general rule. Given that the story is set among Irish-Americans in the 1950s, this is Truth in Television- until at least the early '70s, most Irish-American Catholics in the Northeast were expected to go to schools like Boston College or Holy Cross; those few who went to Harvard or Yale instead were ambitious, upwardly-mobile types who wanted to "make it" as "Americans". One famous example is typical. | |

Somewhat realistically portrayed in The Princess Diaries where most of the characters end up going to Ivy League (most go to Columbia). Justified in that they go to an elite private school and most of the kids are wealthy and legacies. Despite this, a great number don't get into their first choice schools. The only character to get accepted to all of them is Mia but it's made clear that she was only accepted because she's a Princess. This disappoints Mia and, in the end, she ends up attending Sarah Lawrence. Lana's parents tell Lana that they won't pay for her college unless she gets into an Ivy League. Luckily, she gets into Penn. |
