[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Completely obvious HYPSM are the top 5. I assume cheating, if others crack into that top 5.

Ranked too high:
Chicago at 6 (should be 9 to 11)
Hopkins at 7 tie (should be 10 to 12)
Northwestern at 10 tie (should be 12 to 14)
Vanderbilt at 13 tie (should be 15 to 17)
Wash U at 15 tie (should be 17 to 19)

Ranked too low:
Columbia at 18 (should be 10 to 12)
Cornell at 17 (should be 14 to 16)

My take:
Princeton
MIT
Harvard, Stanford, Yale
UPenn
Caltech
Duke
Chicago
Hopkins
Columbia
Dartmouth
Brown
Northwestern
Cornell
Rice, Vanderbilt
WashU, Notre Dame
Berkley

Actually pretty close to perfect list...throw in some SLACs and you have the top colleges in the country.  [/quote]

This is splitting hairs discussing the best of the best, but in terms of overall universities I think Harvard and Stanford have distanced themselves some from the pack over the last couple of decades. They have top notch programs in virtually every discipline plus law, medical, education, and business professional schools among the very best in the country. Yale would be fairly close behind but Princeton and MIT don't have the same breadth of excellence. MIT in particular is limited at the highest levels to CS, engineering, econ, and business, and they don't really belong with the other 4 overall as a university (things like HYPSM are written far too often).
