Which colleges are as good as HYPMS…

[Anonymous]

in terms of education rigor, quality of peer group, faculty, campus experience, research opportunities, employment outcome, networks…but just not as prestigious? We want very high-stat DC to apply to the best quality schools without wasting REA/ED for the brand name

There have been many studies that look at outcomes at elites vs other schools. The elite schools that show superior outcomes are the so called ivy-plus schools defined by many studies as the 8 ivies plus Stanford MIT Duke UChicago.

10 of these 12 schools also happen to all have top SAT ranges in the pre-test optional era, with the note that Columbia never released SAT ranges when they were required and UChcago has been test optional for a long time.

I bet OP is a parody of crazy “high stats” scum parents.

Any. “Top” colleges have underqualified grad students teaching the classes. You’re just paying to play. It’s all about access. You can get a great education anywhere.

Harvey Mudd? Insiders know it's great, but normies have never heard of it and the name sounds sus to them. A true stealth school: zero branding with a silly name, so undetected by normie radar.

you have to stick with ivies and they are all similarly prestigious. HYPMS is a made up thing.



if you want to go down to a level truly "not as prestigious" then you cannot get the quality peers, faculty, career/grad outcomes, networks.
