[quote=Anonymous][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]

It’s not a mystery why Princeton retains its status.  Princeton alums are crazy loyal, and it per alum it has a larger endowment than Harvard or Yale.

It has strong departments across the board, in part because it’s only professional school is small, a deliberate choice by the school. [/quote]

It also isn’t nut job liberal, just liberal. Harvard and its dean have really lost their way, wish they’d rewrite their mission statement already. [/quote]
