Unlike the others, this ranking is based on hard data.

Have fun, idiots.

This guy thinks he’s cool but actually just comes of as pompous and weird

PP here. Do not think I am cool. May be pompous and weird. But definitely correct.

Now get back to explaining why Columbia is 3 better than Penn. Because that is really important and very useful.

You're definitely mean to call people idiots. If they like to have this discussion, what do you care? Better to discuss which Kardashian dresses best? There's nothing wrong with that either, in my opinion.

Everything is fine until you put other people, who are not hurting you, down.

I think even the preseason ranking have more merit than most of this lists on this thread

PP here. So your point about the ad hominem is accurate. Mea Culpa. But this discussion, and the madness it reflects and perpetuates, DOES hurt people, because these distinctions are damaging to those in the process and lead to desperation and heartbreak.

That's why I care.

Harvard
Yale
Princeton
Brown
Columbia
U Penn
Dartmouth
Cornell
Stanford
MIT

The other 2990 colleges are total bags of crap and no one should go to them, ever.

They are based on polls. So if we aggregate all the rankings here, we'd reach the same result.

1. Harvard
2. Stanford
3. MIT
4. Yale
5. Princeton
6. Columbia
7. Penn


After #7, there doesn't appear to be a consensus for #8 - #10. Perhaps Caltech, Brown, and Cornell?

Top 5 (HYPSM) are definitive, but not top 7. Many would place Caltech, or even UChicago, above Columbia and Penn.

1. Harvard / Stanford
3. Yale / Princeton / MIT
6. Columbia / UChicago / Caltech
9. Penn / Northwestern / Duke

That would be my list.

HYPSM are arguably interchangeable. They are the elite of the elite. Columbia is ahead of Chicago. Penn and Duke ahead of Northwestern.

1. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT
6. Columbia
7. Penn
8. Duke
9. Caltech
10. Chicago

I agree with your list except for Duke - it's a fantastic university, but not sure if I'd unilaterally put it above Caltech or Chicago (or Northwestern, for that matter). I'd scoot Caltech/Chicago up and place Northwestern or Cornell or Hopkins at the no. 10 spot.

Might agree with moving Duke on the same line as Caltech and Chicago but not below it. I know there are many Duke haters but it is still a fantastic university as you say. Northwestern would not make my top 10 but certainly somewhere 11-15. One could argue Hopkins deserves top 10 status but still perceive them as somewhere 11-15. Cornell just outside the top 10 as well.

FWIW My Updated List:
1. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT
6. Columbia
7. Penn
8. Duke, Caltech, Chicago
---------
11. Hopkins
12. Brown
13. Dartmouth
14. Northwestern
15. Cornell

Ok, deal. Done!

I am just not sure that UPenn, Dartmouth, Cornell, Chicago are in the same prestigious league as Yale, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, and Maryland.
