^That’s the definitive T10 in my mind. Caltech is a fantastic school but way too small and way too niche, and not socially elite.

Although Columbia probably belongs in a tier of its own below Princeton

Columbia definitely belongs in a tier of its own below Princeton

I think it’s fine to put Columbia in the same tier as Princeton. I would even say that the difference between Princeton and Columbia is less than Harvard and Yale.

Princeton’s claim to fame for the past 50 years or so has been Brooke Shields. That’s it.

What? Princeton alumni and faculty won 5 Nobels this year alone. For a school with 4,000 students, that is amazing. It is not Princeton's fault if you are too dumb to understand what they do and prefer to focus on celebrities.

I think this is the best list. Columbia is up there but slightly below Princeton in my view

You missed the whole point about Brooke Shields. She was boasting she was so smart she slept through the rigor of an ivy. She published her transcript as a “proof” she graduated with >3.6 gpa. That incident created a scandal in the country. For the first time, people were able to see what a Mickey Mouse university Princeton truly is. Anyone can graduate from Princeton with basket weaving and swimming courses.

I don't know anybody who pays the slightest attention to Brooke Shields. I know quite a few brilliant people who struggled mightily for more than a year to complete their undergraduate Princeton thesis in math or physics or history.

She majored in French literature, which actually is a fairly rigorous major. Sorry you got hosed by admissions.
