Let me end this. Tied for 1 are UVA and Northeastern. 2. Chicago. 3. Northwestern. 4. Wherever GDS kids go if not Harvard. Then everything else. |
Agree with this, but I'd put UVA and NYU in Tier 3. |
+100 |
lol--your kid isn't getting into any of these schools, but sure, split hairs between Yale and Princeton. You folks are nuts. |
Interesting. My kid got WL for 1 in Tier 1. Didn't apply to any Tier 2. Got accepted at 3 of the 4- WL 1 in Tier 3. Accepted at 2 out of 2 in Tier 4. |
It's true CMU has one of the best CS programs. Unfortunately, other programs there don't measure up. |

On the private side, this is how I view the Top 12 (in order of overall reputation) ...
1. MIT 2. Harvard 3. Stanford 4. Princeton 5. Yale 6. Cal Tech 7. Columbia 8. Duke 9. Penn 10. Brown 11. Dartmouth 12. USC (Note: at this point, Cornell is losing ground as the Ivy backdoor, Hopkins and Chicago are becoming considered gimmick-y schools that very intentionally game the selectivity rankings, and Vanderbilt's heavier emphasis on the TO admissions program has diminished its reputation, at least in my eyes) On the public side, this is how I view the Top 12 (in order) ... 1a. UCLA 1b. UC Berkeley 3. Michigan 4. UVA 5. UNC 6. Georgia Tech 7a. UCSD 7b. UT Austin 9. Florida 10. UC Irvine 11. Washington 12. UC Davis (Note: there are certain honors college designations and differences in major programs that could vault other public schools into the Top 12 if considered heavily, etc., but this list is merely intended to represent overall reputation) |
Ok this is the final list: HYPSM Caltech Columbia Penn Chicago Duke Northwestern Brown Dartmouth Cornell Johns Hopkins Amherst Williams Swarthmore Pomona Berkeley |
Olin college of engineering and Bowdoin are nore prestigious than WashU and Emory... to you? That's hilarious |
This is good. |
1)Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Penn, Duke, Chicago, Caltech, Northwestern, Brown
2) Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst, Rice, Cornell, Pomona, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, Cal, Notre Dame, Emory, Swarthmore, UCLA, Wellesley, WashU, CMU 3) Michigan, NYU, USC, UVA, Tufts, Middlebury, Barnard, UNC, Boston College, Vassar, Bowdoin, W&L, Davidson, GaTech, Hamilton I removed Wake and W&M, as they're a tier below. |
+2 People concoct the most humorous lists, and DCUM falls for it. |
LMAO. USC Parent is so painfully obvious. |
