[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Columbia, MIT at the highest end. Also: Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, and, perhaps counterintuitively, Cornell. And among state schools, U Florida.[/quote]

Ludicrous post listing already elite schools.

It's all relative. These are already blue-chip brands that are becoming better, more burnished. Most of the names being thrown around on this thread aren't schools that are "on the rise", but merely, "Oh, we just happened to learn about them recently and they seem like a good fit for my kid." You have to look at numbers over a concerted period of time; quality of students, teaching, and faculty; research output; and financial resources. In all these metrics, the aforementioned schools are doing excellent and have great positive upward momentum. Others within their tier, not so much.[/quote]

What are examples of others within their tier that are lacking upward momentum?[/quote]

The most obvious answer here is probably Dartmouth, but I'm sure there are a couple others. Some might argue Yale, but I'd really, really counter against that.[/quote]

What is the argument for Yale? [/quote]
Yale is lacking in Everything STEM, and the law market has declined. [/quote]

+100
STEM is the future
STEM from T10-T30 even T30-T50 is more valuable than some liberal arts from Yale[/quote]

So you are arguing about getting rid of liberal arts in colleges, nothing specific about Yale. Only a society with STEM education. To be frank, your argument is not even  worth a serious response. You do not understand what a fulfilling human life is about.

LOL If Yale is ranked less than Princeton, do we get ird of Yale?
Just pointing out the important fact that Virginia Tech computer engineering degeee is more valuable than Yale pcychology degee, but don't get rid of the Yale psychology degree.
You don't haove abilitity reason.
