[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always saw the top cohort referenced as HYPSM (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT)[/quote]

+1. Since when were Stanford and MIT considered as less prestigious? Never.[/quote]

Since the rise of tech I actually think Harvard, MIT and Stanford have become the top 3 for the most ambitious kids.  Harvard was fortunate because Zuckerberg started Facebook and pulled a lot of Harvard alums in with him.  Yale may be the shakiest because they have the weakest CS/tech but they have recently poured resources in to fix it and of course they have such a dominant law school.  Princeton mysteriously seems to maintain its status no matter how the winds blow so kudos to them for that.  [/quote]

The "HYPSM" jargon is almost completely attributable to the crazed college admissions industries in Asia (East and South) and the recent immigrants and their children who rely on that industry to inform their understanding of American colleges. And since they come from developing countries, they think computer science and engineering are the only avenues of higher learning.  [/quote]
