[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be honest, most folks draw the line of “elite” just under (or near) the school they are connected to. The best way to get an honest answer would be to look at one to one yield. In other words putting aside all other factors (legacy, finances, geographic proximity) given a choice between Stanford and Yale how many would choose Yale? Or as between CalTech and MIT how many would choose CalTech?

It’s impossible to get this data, but I believe that Stanford, Harvard and MIT would stand out.
