[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Here is the appropriate tier:

HYPSM
Columbia Chicago Caltech Penn
Northwestern Duke
Dartmouth Brown Cornell 
Johns Hopkins Berkeley[/quote]

50+ crowd chiming in here. I agree with this tier list.[/quote]

I went to grad school at Northwestern, and I have a hard time believing the undergrads there rank over the undergrads at Brown, Cornell or Johns Hopkins.

The students seemed like regular bright, preprofessional students, not just one rung down from what I think of as Cal Tech or University of Chicago students.

I went to undergrad and grad at two Ivies but some of my closest friends are Northwestern grads. I can assure you, just because they present as sociable and “regular” doesn’t at all mean they aren’t extremely intelligent and competent. In fact, that’s part of the appeal of the school for some — the relative lack of pretense compared to some of its peers. I’d put Northwestern against Brown, Cornell or Hopkins any day of the week.[/quote]
