Peking university is now part of an effort launched in 2009 to create a chinese counterpart to the ivies -- called the c9 league .

目前，北京大学是中国的九校联盟之一，九校联盟是中国借鉴美国常青藤盟校模式、于2009年建立的学校联盟。

But the ivies as we all know have their own private institutional interests at stake in their admissions choices including some that are arguably defensible .

然而众所周知，常春藤联盟在招生时会考虑自身的利益需求，而他们的一些政策也无可厚非。

In addition , he said , international students applied to the ivies and top liberal arts colleges because they were more likely to receive financial assistance .

此外，弗斯滕伯格表示，国际学生之所以申请常青藤联盟院校和顶级文理学院，是因为他们更有可能得到经济资助。
