| Backups? Backups to what? These are all excellent schools that are very difficult to be admitted to. It sounds like you are trying to denigrate them. |

Actual demand by the actual students. Quality of education among all other factors is accounted for in the demand. |

| If "perceived prestige" is what you're concerned with, the simple answer to this question is to look at the school's "yield rate" (the percentage of admitted students that actually choose to enroll in the schools. Harvard's is very high (80%). Most of these schools are in the 40-50% range, on par with, say, Michigan, UVA, or UNC's yield rate, but much higher than Ohio State, Maryland. Some of these, like NYU have >50% yield rates, much higher than state flagships. Others, like Emory and Wake, are in the 30s, much lower than the more prestigious flagships. If you're only interested in the quality of education your kid will receive, there's very little difference between any of these schools. |

Yield rate can be manipulated as seen in Chicago. Without ED0-ED3, the yield rate for Chicago would be much much lower. |

NYU used to be world class. Now they are just a breeding ground for terrorist sympathizers. |
