^That’s the definitive T10 in my mind. Caltech is a fantastic school but way too small and way too niche, and not socially elite.[/quote]

Although Columbia probably belongs in a tier of its own below Princeton[/quote]

+5 Possibly. Columbia does have some upward momentum and has cachet as the hip, urban, NYC Ivy. The WASPish unabashed elitism that defines Princeton’s brand has fallen out of vogue in recent decades.[/quote]

+6. Princeton is making an effort to get rid of this WASPy brand that is outdated to say the least, but the social presence of selective and elitist eating clubs is still a problem. Of course I’m sure that Princeton will find a way to make a middle ground between its inclusive efforts and preserving the camaraderie that the historical eating clubs have fostered for its alumni.
