[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the private side, this is how I view the Top 12 (in order of overall reputation) ...
1. MIT
2. Harvard
3. Stanford
4. Princeton
5. Yale
6. Cal Tech
7. Columbia
8. Duke
9. Penn
10. Brown
11. Dartmouth
12. USC

(Note: at this point, Cornell is losing ground as the Ivy backdoor, Hopkins and Chicago are becoming considered gimmick-y schools that very intentionally game the selectivity rankings, and Vanderbilt's heavier emphasis on the TO admissions program has diminished its reputation, at least in my eyes)

On the public side, this is how I view the Top 12 (in order) ...
1a. UCLA
1b. UC Berkeley
3. Michigan
4. UVA
5. UNC
6. Georgia Tech
7a. UCSD
7b. UT Austin
9. Florida
10. UC Irvine
11. Washington
12. UC Davis

(Note: there are certain honors college designations and differences in major programs that could vault other public schools into the Top 12 if considered heavily, etc., but this list is merely intended to represent overall reputation)[/quote]

LMAO. USC Parent is so painfully obvious.[/quote]
