[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TRULY "elite" - let's be honest:

Princeton University (NJ) 
Harvard University (MA) 
Yale University (CT) (tie) 
Columbia University (NY) (tie) 
Stanford University (CA) (tie) 
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

That's it folks - those are the ONLY schools that are so elite they NEVER require explanation.

Of course Penn's Wharton School and Cornell's Hotel school are elite - but that's the point you have to specify the particular program. The other Top 25 schools are terrific, but there are NOT in the same class.[/quote]

I liked how you snuck Columbia in there.[/quote]

Hasn't Columbia been harder to get into than Yale or Princeton for the last several years? [/quote]

Columbia has not been harder to get in than Yale or Princeton. Acceptance rate does not equal selectivity. Columbia gets many many extra applicants due to its NYC location, many of which are not qualified, they just apply to the only ivy in NYC.

Truth is no one really thinks of Columbia as on par with HYPSM. [/quote]
