[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A comprehensive list based upon wide consensus would probably include the following colleges and universities:

Amherst, Barnard, Bates, Bowdoin, Brown, Bryn Mawr, Cal (Berkeley), Cal Tech, Carnegie Mellon, Carleton, Chicago, Colby, Colgate, Columbia, Cornell, Claremont McKenna, Curtis (Institute of Music), Dartmouth, Davidson, Duke, Emory, Georgetown, Grinnell, Hamilton, Haverford, Harvard, Harvey Mudd, Howard, Johns Hopkins, Juilliard, Kenyon, Michigan, Middlebury, MIT, Mount Holyoke, Northwestern, Notre Dame, NYU, Oberlin, Olin, Penn, Pomona, Princeton, Reed, Rice, RISD, Scripps, Spelman, Stanford, St. John's College (Annapolis & Santa Fe), Smith, Swarthmore, UCLA,  UNC, USC, UT Austin, UVA, Vanderbilt, Vassar, Washington & Lee, Wellesley, Wesleyan, Williams, Wisconsin (Madison), WUSTL, Yale and the U.S. academies (West Point et al).

So approximately 70 schools out of 653 national university and liberal arts colleges combined according to U.S. News and World Report which in turn is approximately 2.5% of all 4-year U.S. colleges and universities and 1.6% of all U.S. colleges and universities.

Barnard, Bates, Colby, Washington and Lee, Colgate??? No way.

This is a good starting point. The real gems can then be found by taking out legacy, first gen, athletic recruits, ED1 and ED2 admits with full pays, z list, back door entries, side door entries, etc.[/quote][/quote]
