[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TRULY "elite" - let's be honest:

Princeton University (NJ) 
Harvard University (MA) 
Yale University (CT) (tie) 
Columbia University (NY) (tie) 
Stanford University (CA) (tie) 
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

That's it folks - those are the ONLY schools that are so elite they NEVER require explanation.

Of course Penn's Wharton School and Cornell's Hotel school are elite - but that's the point you have to specify the particular program. The other Top 25 schools are terrific, but there are NOT in the same class.[/quote]

The only thing more idiotic than this thread is the fact that this poster felt the need to list the states for each of these schools.  That's my 2  cents.[/quote]

Surprise pp! There will always be someone more idiotic. In this case, on page 4. “Princeton has the most coveted location of any of the Ivies. You get a substantial number of under-qualified students applying simply because it's in NYC.”[/quote]

That was pretty obviously a typo from someone who may have started a different sentence and then meant to refer to Columbia.  These posts aren't exactly peer-reviewed journal articles.

I actually feel sorry for the people who feel so insecure about how MIT or other schools may be perceived that they compose lengthy posts that will be forgotten in a week or less. [/quote]

Stop trying to make Columbia 'happen'...lol [/quote]

DP with no connection to Columbia but Columbia “happened” about 250 years ago. I really don’t understand people who are deluding themselves into thinking Columbia is not elite?[/quote]

I just want to know which Ivy the "Princeton has the most coveted location of any of the Ivies ... in NYC"  pp attended.[/quote]
