[quote=Anonymous]No, it isn’t HYPSM. And H isn’t Y isn't P isn’t S and none of them are anything like M. Is a UChicago grad likely to be as intelligent and well-educated as an HYPS grad? Yes, at least. S/he, like HYPS grads, will be differently educated than an M grad. Academics know this, employers know this, even students at the other schools know this. Historically, HYP are rich kids schools — not (exclusively or primarily) smart kid schools. As very old schools for the rich, they have gigantic endowments which gives them lots of money/resources, as well as a longer history of famous alumni and the reputation that goes with that. They also have a very WASPY (not always very bright) legacy base. UChicago, like Johns Hopkins and MIT, was founded a could Stanford has a foot in both camps — started out a rich kids school but founded centuries later than HYP, gained status as the result of a tech boom, so more emphasis [/quote]
