[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elite school perception does change over time. 50-100 years ago, it was really HYP, while Stanford and MIT were just "good" schools.[/quote] Something momentous needs to happen for perception to change. HYP were historically the finishing schools of the wasp elites. So they have historical status and prestige and are top in certain fields, hence their status. In the last 50-100 years, STEM, and especially engineering and tech took off hence the rise of Stanford and MIT. It will be rather hard for any other school to develop a similar competitive advantage in any field and rise to that level. [/quote]
