[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“HYPSM” is just as contrived a concept as the list of schools in OP, which are also widely considered equivalents to the Ivy League schools, so it’s a moot point.[/quote]

HYP, the big three has been around for centuries. The addition of MIT and Stanford happened naturally. It is widely known. The grouping by OP does not exist anywhere else except in OP's head. It serves no meaningful purpose. Lay people know MIT and Stanford are just as prestigious as HYP. But they don't view Hopkins or Northwestern is in the same league as OP made it out to be.

OP likely did not attend MIT, Stanford or any Ivy League school and has a chip on his/her shoulder.[/quote]

These assumptions do not live anywhere else except in your head.[/quote]

HYPMS is a well known grouping discussed by HS seniors, parents and college consultants. MIT and Stanford don't need to be arbitrarily grouped with other schools to make your list (not seen anywhere else) seem legit as they already are in their own league, the T5. It's just an educated guess that you didn't attend HYPMS or any other Ivy League schools.[/quote]
