Let's take a step back and look at the Ivy League's history - it was actually formed in 1954, when eight private colleges in the Northeast got together and said, "Hey, let's be a thing!" And that thing became the Ivy League we know today, with schools like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.
Now, Stanford was founded in 1885 by Leland Stanford (yep, that's where the name comes from!), and it was always meant to be a different kind of school - more focused on innovation and entrepreneurship, which is probably why it's done so well in the tech world.

So, while Stanford may not be an official Ivy League school, it's definitely got its own special vibe going on - and with nobel laureates, Astronauts, and Tony Award winners among its alumni, you know it's doing something right.
