Excellent & appropriate question.

Top 25 Colleges & Universities arguably consists of at least 30 schools:

The 8 Ivy League schools: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Penn, Dartmouth, & Cornell

Stanford, MIT, Chicago, Northwestern, Duke & CalTech.

The remaining 11 spots can be filled by: Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, WashUStl, UCLA, UCal-Berkeley, Williams College, Swarthmore College, Amherst College, Rice, Carnegie Mellon, the USNA, USMA at West Point, the USAFA, maybe Wellesley College, maybe Pomona College, maybe Notre Dame, maybe Georgetown, maybe Michigan, maybe Emory, & maybe USC.

I wrote the above quoted post: Upon further reflection, I hereby withdraw the qualifier "maybe" from Georgetown.

The reason that I initially included the word "maybe" before Georgetown, which is ranked at #22 by US News in a 3 way tie with CMU & Emory, was to allow for full consideration of the three main US service academies and several elite LACs.

Furthermore, I would like to withdraw the "maybe" qualifier from Emory, USC, Michigan, Pomona College, Notre Dame, & Wellesley College. accordingly, my Top 25 or Top 30 schools now includes at least 34 schools (I did not major in math).

What am I supposed to be seeing in your link? The ranking shows that Georgetown is indeed ranked in the top 25. The earlier poster ranked USNA (ACT Range 26-32, SAT range 1150-1370) and West Point above Notre Dame, UVA, and Georgetown. I really don’t think that’s reflective of reality.

+1

+2 my kid is at one of these and it’s a total grind. If not at a party, studying.

Honestly I don’t get what the problem is. My kid is at a top 25 school. She has a lot of friends and seems to do some really nice social stuff. She does go to parties. But most of the time? She is thinking about her classes and/or her part time research job. I mean - that’s why I am paying $80K a year. She should take advantage of what’s being offered. I’m ok with the OP and others like them calling her a grinder.

How bout you make your parents think they didn’t raise a pathetic bully and say the OP invited “disagreement”?

Nope, I keep the same wording.
T25 with no "grinding"
Why T25 if your kid isn't going to use the resources (too much grind.) Any college can have a great party scene.

I keep hearing the following names:
Vanderbilt
Dartmouth
Northwestern
Duke
USC
Rice
UCLA
Michigan

Do you agree? Disagree? What’s missing? What should come off?

Not sure that Northwestern University should be on your list. Northwestern's quarter system is quite demanding. Students take 4 or 5 courses per quarter and the pre-med and engineering students work as hard as any students in the nation.

Dartmouth College definitely belongs on your list as a "non-grinder school" even though it is on the quarter/trimester system. Students take just 3 courses per term which allows plenty of time for social pursuits.

Duke students also enjoy a rich social life.

You can highlight Brown as the champion of "T-25 non-grinder social schools". Easiest grading, lowest pressure environment among Top 25 National Universities.

Several Ivy League schools, including Brown, Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth, offer non-grinder options.

3 courses per semester in STEM is not a grinder option.

Meant to say - is not a *non* grinder option.
