[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't why people spend so much effort on these rankings. It's very simple. There are the Ivies and then there's everyone else, including the SLACs, ranked from 1 to 30. [/quote]

No one cares about the lower half of the Ivies. Don't kid yourself.[/quote]

Lower half of the Ivies is still at a very high level no matter how you kid yourself.

There is no such thing as lower ranked or higher ranked Ivies. They are grouped together and analyzed as a collective. They are all top quality providing world class education. [/quote]

Collectively surpass ivies?  Source?

I can see MIT/Caltech surpassing ivies but these are niche universities. They may own ivies in engineering , but ivies own them in liberal arts. JHU all by itself may own ivies in the medical field, but it can't compete with ivies in liberal arts. Julliard/New England Conservatory/Curtis/Oberlin own them in arts and music, but they can't compete with ivies in liberal arts.

And analyzed as a collective, there are certainly several universities that are at their level and/or even *gasp* surpass them.[/quote][/quote]
