[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top 5, top 15, top 25, who cares? This is why some 40% of the population thinks "Washington elites" are nuts and want to tear down the status quo. Most people in the US are not going to any of these schools: they're all elite. Congrats if your kid gets into the elitest-of-the-elite, but it's probably a good idea to keep the hair-splitting to yourself.[/quote] Just means they're a cut above. There's a noticeable dropoff in status, selectivity, endowment, cachet once you get into the teens. WashU, Emory, Vandy, Georgetown, Rice are fine schools, but they're not elite. Georgetown is freaking broke.[/quote]
