UChicago has declined to a third tier school.
Dartmouth? Really? princeton rejects hidden in the mountains?
MIT is a technical school, which has no business in prestige.

Its about precieved prestige. Like mom proudly wears MIT sweatshirt and other parents say "wow"

Agree that for whatever reason Berkeley is probably on the list (even though it lets in tons of poors and had not great test scores when it was even test required compared to even VA publics.)

Huge research unis like CAL's reputation is dependent on their graduate level output. The undergrad has the best kids from CA public schools but if a school stops considering stadardized test scores, you are probably not getting the genius kids who end up at schools w more holistic standards. That said, according to "perceived" prestige, yes Berkeley definiltey has a brand that belongs in the top 10

UChicago has declined to a third tier school.
JHU is too narrowly focused on BME.
MIT is a technical school, which has no business in prestige.

If only an idiot like you have a say...

There are so many of these types of threads. At some point *shrugs*.

Folks are starting to think about prestige relative to value proposition. So prestigue with value factored in:
UMD, Georgia Tech, UNC Chapel Hill

This is a dumb and boring topic, and this response is ridiculously wrong.

Ones with the largest endowments, lowest acceptance rates and biggest PR departments.

Perceived Prstige by who? By the population at large? By academics, by the professional workforce in NYC, DC and SanFran? By kids?
