Hi,
It's a fairly simple question but it makes me scratch my head.
In my country, we often refer to any school in the Ivy League simply as Ivy League.
For example,
"I entered the Ivy League." (to mean that I was accepted to an Ivy League school)
Is such a usage OK or do I have to say "I entered an Ivy League school/university?"
In case "I entered the Ivy League" doesn't sound right just because the Ivy League is composed of 8 schools,
is it OK to say "They entered the Ivy League"?
Thank you in advance
