Is this the Top 1-30 that everyone is referring to? I'm so confused when people reference T1 or T20 or T30.

| They mean US News. Typically national universities but sometimes national LAC’s. |

| There is no agreed-upon T anything. There are a large handful of schools ( the ones on your list) that are generally very well regarded, nearly impossible to get into, that most people think of when they make these references. And there’s a USNRW list which changes a little bit from year to year but is probably the most common reference point since it’s the easiest to find. There are many rankings out there of colleges and universities and while they tend to highlight the same schools over and over again they certainly don’t agree with each other on the order. |

I think your list is right-ish. Maybe just missing Amherst tho or maybe that was #32.
I like that your list includes LACs. USNWR is garbage. |

| That’s a bizarro list |

| Strange list. UC San Diego and NYU should be much higher. |

Any top-x assertion should include a source and a category. U.S. News, for example, does not provide a general ranking of undergraduate schools in any form, so a category should be specified. As an example of a general ranking of colleges and universities together, this analysis relied on fairly conventional measures, which tended to place familiar schools among the top 30:

| I thought USD was 29, UCD and UCI were tied for 31, and UCSB 38. |

Not at all like the others. And interesting that USC did not get even a tiny hit for its admission scandals. |

Seems to be a new pattern for posters. |

A list copied from Reddit is "correct"? Talk about a joke. |
