Students choose other schools because the Ivy League school didn't admit them. No one that I know would chose a school "instead" of an Ivy League school if they could get admitted into the Ivy League school.

There are many reasons why students who have been or could be admitted into ivies don't choose to attend them. These reasons may include: preferring a warmer climate than that of the northeast; preferring to attend a college where all classes are taught by professors, rather than graduate assistants; preferring a campus environment that is less politically liberal than is prevalent at most or all ivies; and desiring to major in a subject that ivies don't specialize in, such as journalism or wildlife biology. There are probably a dozen other reasons I have not mentioned.
