[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on US News rankings it would be PHYS, skipping over UChicago, Columbia and MIT.

Perhaps it should be called the Phys Ed group?[/quote]

No one cares about USNews at this level. If they did, Princeton would be THE dream school stealing most of the cross-admits from Harvard or Stanford, while the opposite is actually true.

The real top 2 is Harvard /Stanford and the real top 5 is HYPSM. Everyone knows that. [/quote]

If Princeton isn't #1 for undergrad, how do they have a $2.7M endowment PER STUDENT? Literally $1M more PER STUDENT than HYS. Insane! Princeton is tops for undergrad and it's not close. Unless you're a current student or recent grad you really can't comment.[/quote]

Princeton is amazing for undergrad but it is not THE most desirable school for top students. Students who have both a Princeton and a Harvard or Stanford acceptance overwhelmingly choose Harvard. Harvard and Stanford have over 80% yields while Princeton has a 66% yield. It has to do more with the brands of the schools and less with actual quality but this is how it is. [/quote]
