The last 3 in Italics are borderline. So about 30ish.

You are as pathetic as the OP

How big is the stone up your bottom? We can't have fun while we wait for decisions?

I'd remove the italics from the 1st two, and add NYU (albeit italicized, probably).

If you add NYU you would have to add USC and UNC to keep it fair. And they dilute it.

Excise all publics. UNC-CH guarantees admission from CC with a 3.2. A 3.2. UVA not much better.

If this is your idea of fun, then you seriously need help. I doubt your kid is playing this game.

No idea. But there’s nothing elite about getting a bachelor’s degree, that’s for sure.

After WHYPSM (Wisconsin, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and MIT), I don’t know what’s what these days.

Maybe WHYPSM + the next 20 - 25 schools?

So … Top 30 or so?
