[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone even care about any of the schools ranked outside the Top 25?[/quote]

Yes.  And is there a sudden invisible cutoff between 25 and 26?  [/quote]

I really think a good consistent list of top schools is to look at is how College Confidential organizes it.  There are the ivies in one category, top universities in another, and then top liberal arts colleges. This is consistent and is not ranked.

Ivies:
Brown
Columbia
Cornell
Dartmouth
Harvard
Penn
Princeton
Yale

Top universities:
Berkekely
UCLA
Cal Tech
Carnegie Mellon
Chicago
Duke
Emory
Georgetown
Hopkins
MIT
Michigan
Chapel Hill
Northwestern
Notre Dame
Rice
Stanford
Tulane
UVA
Vanderbilt
Wash U

Top Liberal Arts Colleges:
Amherst
Barnard
Bates
Bowdoin
Bryn Mayr
Carleton
Claremont
Colby
Colgate
Davidson
Grinnell
Hamilton
Harvey Mudd
Haverford
Kenyon
Macalester
Middlebury
Mount Holyoke
Oberlin
Pomona
Reed
Smith
Swarthmore
Trinity
Vassar
Washington & Lee
Wellesley
Wesleyan
Whitman
Williams

All other schools in one separate batch alphabetically.

Simple, clean. [/quote]

Obviously Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT are the strongest in the top universities category. For simplicity reason, this is a good way to organize.[/quote]
