No....ALL Ivy League schools are on the East Coast....Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, University of Pennsylvania, Brown, Columbia, Cornell...the "Ancient Eight"....
they're called "Ivy" League because the eight schools are among the oldest colleges in the nation...so ivy plants climb the buildings of these schools...But Stanford is academically and in every way, as prestigious as the Ivy Leagues..
I'd call Stanford University..a "West Coast Ivy"...

No, the Ivy League is a sports organization of 7 universities in the North East.
But Stanford is on par with Ivy League members in terms of quality and prestige

The Ivy League is a collection of *8* schools (not 7, as a previous answer said). The schools are: Harvard, Princeton, Brown, Yale, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia, and University of Pennsylvania. All of these are great schools (I recommend Brown, it's where I went :)). Stanford is a PAC-10 school, but it is a very high quality school nonetheless.

Stanford is in the PAC-10.
Along with Duke (ACC) and Northwestern (Big Ten) it is often compared to Ivy League schools because of its academic excellence.

No, but the quality is just as good and Stanford is extremely selective
