[quote=Anonymous]Someone else sent me this, which I'm pasting here:

I stumbled across a Forbes article titled "Presidential Cabinets Have Been Dominated By College Elites Long Before Joe Biden And Donald Trump. Why That’s A Problem" yesterday, and I made note of this paragraph:

"Bower-Bir coded the colleges these senior appointees attended as being either “elite” or “common.” The elite schools included the eight universities in the Ivy League (Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Harvard, Princeton, Yale) plus 17 others determined through commonly understood academic groupings and a scientific survey of the American public (Duke, Georgetown, U. Chicago, MIT, Johns Hopkins, Cambridge, London School of Economics, Oxford, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Boston College, Boston University, Carnegie Mellon, New York University, Northwestern, Stanford and U. California, Berkeley). “Common” schools were simply everyplace else."

Additionally, the UK government implemented earlier this year its "high potential" immigrant program by giving 2-year open work visas for everyone graduating with an undergrad or grad degree from a pre-selected group of universities. Here are the American ones:

California Institute of Technology
Columbia University
Cornell University
Duke University
Harvard University
Johns Hopkins University
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
New York University
Northwestern University
Princeton University
Stanford University
University of California, Berkeley
University of California, Los Angeles
University of California, San Diego
University of Chicago
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of Pennsylvania
University of Texas at Austin
University of Washington
Yale University

Here are the universities that appear on both lists, and these are the universities that BOTH the American public AND people outside of America think of as the most prestigious:

[b]Six universities in the Ivy League:

Harvard University
Yale University
Princeton University
Columbia University
University of Pennsylvania
Cornell University

Eight universities not in the Ivy League:

Stanford University
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Duke University
University of Chicago
Johns Hopkins University
Northwestern University
University of California, Berkeley
New York University[/b]
