[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think layman elite is probably just HYPSM.

Most of the nation has no idea what Hopkins, UChicago, Brown even are, let alone how insanely difficult it is to get into Duke, Dartmouth, Cornell.[/quote]

Only true inside the US. Global prestige is a whole different topic.[/quote]

Hypsm is not a layman’s terminology. From Wiki on verifiability issues with HYPS, HYPSM, and HYPSMC:

“As things stand, no sources are provided to show any significant widespread use of any of these initialisms. I find it very hard to imagine a guidance counsellor saying "if you want to get into one of the aitch why pee ess em cee schools...." The verifiability policy notes that "The burden of evidence lies with the editors who have made an edit or wish an edit to remain." So far, those editors have declined to do this.”

Hypsm is no more than a DCUM AND CC terminology. It’s a shorthand way insecure DCUM strivers talk.

Lol, I clicked on your first click bait and confirmed HYPSM is nothing more than a sale stool used by cram schools to peddle their programs. The first link is by people pandering to fragile people. They even have “A reading program for fragile readers in grades 5 through 12 (and adults).”  [/quote]

You don't handle being wrong too well, one sees.  No big surprise there.  [/quote]
