Other schools have great programs, but for overall "prestige" in the US, I think that's it.

Vanderbilt, but not Yale?  Lol.  No

Yale hasn't been a meaningful university in 30 years. Vanderbilt and Rice have it going on these days. Times change[/quote]

Yale is still Yale cmon ladies - Rory Gilmore didn’t go to Wesleyan or Williams, she went to Yale! but I have to agree with Vandy / Rice comment, they both have it going on these days.  My DCs immediate and extended friend group (which is humungous) in the region all luv these 2 schools.  Even the ones aiming for HYPMS consider these 2 schools “fun and cool”, which are two words never attributed to Cornell or JHU.  Times change - both had a 70% acceptance rate not too long ago, and too much of DCUMs collective memory is firmly rooted in the past.  Other than the extreme lefties, who Vandy and Rice don’t want anyway![/quote]
Expect Rice and Vandy to drop in the rankings this year, especially Rice. [/quote]

Why?[/quote]
The ranking changes are significant and Rice benefits from its current iteration. The people saying Eice is better than Cornell will have a change of heart when the new rankings come out in a month. [/quote]
But why? What about the changes? [/quote]
