I would say UPenn is your best bet. There are a couple of UPenn alums on here and it has a strong Af-Am community. Ithaca would be fairly wack for you and really, Duke?
Stanford is good enough that you can end up back on the East Coast after college, while also getting to feed off all the start-up activity in SV. No brainer IMO, if you get in there, but I can understand there would be a social trade-off.
College is only lame if you let it be. If you go to a large enough school, you'll find people on the same wavelength.

Not saying that folks on here don't or didn't have the potential, but, uh, ... just ... I'ma leave that alone.
...Socio-economic strata permeate every element of society, so Web sites and Web site preference are included.
Soooo... more than likely Ivy's aren't going to be on here.
Possibly...possibly an Ivy alum who lost his or her way and somehow got disconnected might post on the Coli.

I'd say it's a .0000000000000000000000009 percent possibility of someone on the Coli being a matriculating Ivy. Extremely slim to none.

there are multiple Ivy League grads on here.
Enjoying hip hop and sports discussions doesn't preclude you from obtaining higher education.
If true, again, an alum(s) -- with the slightest of possibility -- might post on here...
I think I recall one poster professed to be an alum in this thread >>> http://www.thecoli.com/threads/when...etics-stanford-is-the-goat-university.162556/
but still...
WTF is an Ivy League alum thinking being on here?!
It's like hanging out with folks on skid row and revisiting them just for the experience and to accessorize with commoners on some Radical Chic shyt... Just can't see it.
It doesn't make socio-economic sense at all. It doesn't make societal sense.
Like I said. There are a bunch of us on here.If true, again, an alum(s) -- with the slightest of possibility -- might post on here...

Congrats.
Do tell...
If you're an Ivy alum, this Web site isn't for you in theory, according to social scientists.
So what's your rational for being on here?!
And how and when did you get disconnected?
And it's never just entertainment, although that might be the primary function and use.
Congrats.

Stumbled on it as a place to discuss hip hop and followed here. It really is entertainment. I'm failing to see the socio economic connection you're attempting to make. And I really don't know what more than entertainment you're attempting to imply it is. People from every background and education level listen to hip hop, watch sports and use computers.

It's ALL characterized by segmentation in nearly every element of society very few exceptions, save the fascinated, disconnected, misguided and/or in some cases fortunate souls who break rank. And again, if are an Ivy League alum, then that would -- in small part -- explain the .0000000000009 percent who post here.
So yes, The Coli is a social/entertainment deal... right.
An Ivy League alum, with an all access pass to everything six figures and above, consistently visiting a virtual social/entertainment hang out spot filled with folks who will never see that all access card and all it entails doesn't make sociological sense.
I know Ivy Leaguers who break rank. And nearly all of them have lost their respective way.
So what gives?
Congrats.

This is actually interesting. I don't live in the USA so I'm intrigued by the perception of ivy leagues.
How do you view the coli, as a website and its clientele if you were to sum up the average coli person and what you think their job is what would you describe it as.
I'm just trying to see your side of things as to why you think an Ivy League student wouldn't post on here, it has to do with how you perceive the posters.
Also, as a random side note do you think a Wall Street banker would post on here either?
Interested to know.
But what about those of us who already have access to "six figures and above" and legitimately just enjoy banter about sports and music? How exactly is that "breaking ranks?" I'm just not following what you're implying. Maybe you can post one of these socio economic studies that explains your argument.

Coli posters are always suggesting and/or providing outright assertions regarding the relatively low socio-economic status of the majority of members here.
This is The Coli... not Facebook. Not Twitter. So, it's just such an anomally, sociologically speaking, for any Ivy League grad to be spending time here. Especially a current Ivy League student.
As for the underlined....
Probably, not...again, according to sociological theories. Namely structural functionalism.
But, lemmeeeeeeee guess, yoooooooooooou're a Wall Street banker!
There's a difference between a poster whom has access to tax brackets that are occupied by a smaller percentage of American's and an Ivy League grad whom has access to tax brackets that are occupied by a smaller percentage of American's...
Can't cite a study. Just using sociological theory.

I found the coli from a body building forum. As you can imagine on a forum where people spent hundreds a month on expensive supplements it attracted people from all walks of life from grown men just into their bodybuilding to teenagers trying to bulk up.
I remember seeing a coli smiley on another forum also (if we wanted to be stereotypical it was one which catered to a more upper socio class clientele) and I found it interesting how you can find coli smileys being used on gym,car, sports, music forums and blogs everywhere.
Like my bodybuilding forum I always simply saw it as a men's forum which ofcourse will attract people from all walks of life. I'd like to think of a socio economic standing for it but I can't.
Hmmmm
Interesting
