[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the really 'top of top' colleges are Harvard, Stanford and MIT.

Then some gap, then Princeton, Yale, Caltech.

Then some more gap

then Columbia, Chicago, etc.[/quote]

Move Caltech a notch below. Not really above Columbia or Chicago. It’s not a comprehensive university and in the public eye, generally not as well known.[/quote]

CalTech is a niche school, don’t belong with ivy schools. It’s like Olympics athletes who are born with skills that the average people can’t compete with.  I actually give them less credit than DCUM. It’s like mike Tyson and his destructive punches. I don’t doubt he worked hard, but the gift from God made it that much easier. Likewise, science and math geeks will have an easier time getting into CalTech. USNews for it right to place it below most ivies next to WashU, Vandy, Emory, NU...[/quote]
Northwestern is an ivy level school. It's better than Cornell Brown, and Dartmouth. [/quote]

For undergraduate education I'd say Brown and Dartmouth are both better than Northwestern.  As a university it's probably a peer of Cornell's. [/quote]

No, I don't think so. I'd easily put Northwestern up against all three of these schools. Especially Dartmouth and Cornell.[/quote]

OK - if it means a lot to you (my degrees are all from higher ranked schools). [/quote]

Lol. OK? I also have degrees from "higher ranked schools," whatever TF that's supposed to signal. What a weird thing to say.[/quote]
