[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a list of colleges that I'd rank "higher" or "lower" (whatever that means) than Swarthmore, in no particular order.  No need to debate this endlessly, but let me know if I'm fairly close to the correct assessment ...

Aiming "higher" than Swarthmore: Stanford, Penn, UVa, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Yale, Georgetown, Brown, Chicago, Harvard, Oxford

About the same as Swarthmore: Wesleyan, Colby, Northwestern, Trinity, Vanderbilt, Amherst, Carnegie Mellon, Michigan, NYU, Washington Univ (St. Louis), Edinburgh, Middlebury, Oberlin, Pomona, USC

Aiming "lower" than Swarthmore: Colgate, Tufts, BC, Bowdoin, Dickinson, Haverford, Kenyon, UNC, Tulane, Vermont, W&M, Indiana, Maryland[/quote]

This list is horrifically inaccurate. 
By your logic, USC, NYU and Trinity College are all "higher" than Bowdoin, Tufts, W&M and Haverford.
By your logic, UVA, Georgetown and Cornell are all "higher" than Swarthmore, Wesleyan, Middlebury, Pomoona, Vanderbilt, Amherst and WashU.

No offense or malice intended, but this is shockingly wrong.[/quote]

This seems really random to me.  These are all good schools.  I don't see how you would separate them into tiers.[/quote]
