[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prattle on all you want, but the top 10 will always be some combination of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, U Chicago, MIT, U Penn, Northwestern, and Duke. Vast majority of people in this country simply don’t even know of Williams and Amherst, though they are great schools. This is also not helped by the fact that in most parts of the world, a “college” is a lesser institution to a “university” (for example in the UK, where the designation of “university” is closely guarded by a government body).[/quote]
Talk about a reification of rankings. You do realize that several of the schools you listed are relatively new to the top 10, don’t you? [/quote]

Besides, Northwestern does not belong in the top 10. You just have to ED the school to get in. [/quote]

UChicago accepts almost most of its class through ED1 and ED2. From private schools you do not even have to be top of the class. Other than HYPMS, any other school that has ED is in the league below. It's those 5 on the top and many schools that can fit the next tier.[/quote]
