[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard Stanford MIT
Yale Princeton Columbia

Northwestern Duke Dartmouth Brown Berkeley 
Cornell Johns Hopkins[/quote][/quote]

Best list so far.[/quote]

Not sure Stanford is above Yale, Princeton, Columbia. I know multiple kids who were rejected by Yale, Princeton, Columbia but admitted to Stanford. [/quote]

Stanford is probably in a similar tier with Yale and Princeton, but these days perception is that Harvard and Stanford are best of best.  There is a drop between HYPSM and Columbia[/quote]

So what exactly is this gap between HYPSM and Columbia?[/quote]

Endowment and caliber of students[/quote]

Columbia’s acceptance rate this year was 4% this year. No different from Princeton, Yale or Stanford. You guys are living in the past. My son is at Yale but almost chose Columbia. He did not consider it any less prestigious  [/quote]

But he did not choose it. That's the point. Many people would choose HYPSM over it when they come to a decision. There is reason for that. 
[/quote]

That's people's insecurity for fearing others would say HYPSM is better, not Columbia's insecurity.[/quote]

Most Columbia students I know are very insecure like Chicago students[/quote]
