Any top school that’s in california or below the mason dixon line is a threat

HYPSM, Caltech, Columbia, Penn, Chicago, Northwestern, Duke, Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Amherst, Williams

With more qualified applicants than ever, HPY can’t admit everyone, so there is a trickle down of great students to other Top 25 schools and beyond. SATs at the Top 20 schools are essentially undifferentiated. Thus, one can’t say that kids at any of the Top 20 schools aren’t elite. But, that leaves HPY kids still wanting to differentiate themselves. That’s when they lay down their ace: Ivy League.

How many times have you posted this list? You seem overly invested.

Hallelujah! Not an elite school.

Used to have a heck of a football program. It's a real shame what's become of the Pac-10.

Around 115 are very high output research universities. If you take even the top 25% of these, those would make about 30 universities that are very very elite. What's that list?

If you take the Nine founding members of the AAU from 1900 and then add the private universities that were inducted into this exclusive club before the end of World War II, you would get a list of the 25 or so most elite universities in the US. Then you can add in the elite public universities like Berkeley, Michigan etc. ( Maybe 10+?) , that are also on this list below, which includes all the 64 members

Add in 1% ( about 10) of the top Baccalaureate colleges and you have a working list of the very very elite institutions of this country.

So, Mizzou is elite but Vandy isn't? I'll take some of whatever you are smoking.

Which did you go to?

Princeton.

So, you went to Princeton, and you’re spending your time on college ranking p*ssing matches? You’re either a pathetic example of an alum or you’re lying. For Princeton’s sake, I hope it’s the latter.

Tell me you don't know a single Ivy League grad without telling me you don't know a single Ivy League grad.

Exactly, there's been plenty of students rejected from Vandy but into Yale. It's all over tik tok. DCU will always be delusional.
