Which of the T5-10 is most prestigious?

Anonymous
I would say it can’t be Penn because their IG has to beat you over the head that it is an Ivy and prestigious. No others have to state this… lol

Is Harvard still in the top 10 after the plagiarism & the open season on Jews stuff?

They are still recovering from the Paterno scandal, too.

Some idiots questioned my decision - they showed me who they really were. I would not fault someone for choosing any of them. I have some pecking order between some of them but I am not broadcasting it because I don't feel strongly about it.

I think that people that are that deep in the weeds and obsess over things like this and USN&WR rankings are the reason the whole process is such a nightmare now and schools feel the need to obsess over rankings, do tons of yield management, etc. People need to just chill the F out.

I kind of want my kids to go to a very good but not great school to stay away from all of these sad prestige hunters. They are insufferable.


My condolences on growing up in NJ. Hope things eventually got better for you. Hugs.

Is this Georgia the country? Definitely not the one with Atlanta.

Nobody wants WASP unless you’re T30 rejects.
