[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Ivies, MIT, and Stanford are generally accepted as "prestigious."

After that, it's coming up with a longer list that gives a poster just enough cover to include their own school.

Keep in mind that "prestigious" is not the same as "good," "respected," or "competitive."  It has a different connotation, yet one that posters here seem endlessly ready to fight over.  [/quote]

Even within Ivies, it's more restricted to HYP and maybe Wharton

A noncontroversial definition would be to just include HYPSM and Caltech

A broader elite college definition I think would include the consensus T15 schools (Ivies, MIT, Stanford, Caltech, Duke, Northwestern, Chicago, JHU)[/quote]

You're providing PP's point.  There's no "consensus T15 schools."[/quote]

That's fair, but there was the aggregate rank shared somewhere earlier. To pull it back up, it gives a reasonable idea of what an overall T15 could look like:

So Brown would be a very average school without the Ivy tag[/quote]

To be honest… yes. What do they actually excel in academically?[/quote]

No different than Tufts without Ivy label [/quote]
