Just curious OP, for what purpose is the listmaking?
For fun? For deciding where to apply?
All of these and many more as you know are fine schools (some arguably better than the Ivys not included).
I guess there's a thought to attend the "best" school you are accepted to, yet another is best fit - for so many things - major, culture, size etc, another is where one can afford.
The lists don't do much for me but curious what it does for you if you'd like to share

I would put Carnegie Mellon on the same level as Caltech, maybe even higher. Ask any tech employer if you don't believe me.

Everyone is obsessed IVY but for over 99 percent of people that will not happen.

Bolded schools don't belong there. No tiers. Schools on your bottom 10 easily better than some of your top 10
