[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Harvard, Stanford

2. MIT, Yale, Princeton

3. Ten or so "Ivy-plus" schools in no particular order

Sidebar: I do not understand Northwestern's hype. I suspect their j-school students funnel to all these publications and put their finger on the scales. After after, the writers and editors select the arbitrary methodology, yes? Of course they see where Northwestern comes out before committing...[/quote]

Nah. Northwestern really is that good for undergrad. 
1- Great on academic metrics. Small classes, low student to professor ratio.
2- Extremely high graduation and retention rates. 
3- As tough to get into as the mid tier Ivies & Duke- 8% acceptance rate, 750s per section on the SAT, 33/34s on the ACT, 90%+ in top 10% of HS class
4- Great alumni network and professional outcomes, which means grads earn a lot of money. A lot of these rankings look into ROI/salaries. 
5- Gives a lot of financial aid, all loan-free. Only 18 or so colleges are full need met, no loans, and they're all pretty elite. [/quote]
