+1. Northeastern parents just can’t help themselves.

Northeastern ranked 44, which is close enough to be considered elite for this list.

Don’t see the same outrage when Cornell is called a T15, with a USNews ranking of 17.

Lol because one is Northeastern and the other is Cornell. Let me guess, you think Northeastern is same level as Cornell?

Great experience at UVA, though I know people here will revolt that I said that.

Everyone I’ve ever met who went to Cornell seems to hate it.

I'll play. My kid and his tight friend group:

Yale - happy
Brown - mixed bag.
Swarthmore - mixed bag but happier than Brown guy.
Vanderbilt - mostly not happy
Georgetown - decidedly unhappy
Deep Springs - deliriously happy

PP here. Didn't know where to put Deep Springs but it's a harder admit than any Ivy, so.

My kid loves Rice.

Wake has consistently been ranked 25-30 since it was classified as a national university in the 90s. Prior to that, it was #1 in the Southern region.

It was profiled in a book of the top 50 US colleges around that time as well.

Not sure why you need to knock it
