This is more an insult to you than the schools. [/quote]

PP you replied to. I'm not American, and the detailed rankings of US schools don't interest me enormously. Sometimes it's useful to remember that outside of the US, no one knows about any of these schools apart from Harvard, and occasionally Stanford, MIT, Yale or Princeton. And the latter only if you ask the educated, worldly people.

Perspective. It's important to not get too caught up in which schools your kid is applying to.

Ok so you’re not educated and worldly?  What a self own.[/quote]

DP.  It's also false to say that outside of the US, people are not aware of any schools besides Harvard.  Among globally mobile/highly-educated professionals, there can be awareness of various US institutions, especially the R1 universities.  In addition, various countries' elites often have connections to particular schools.  Cornell had early high-level ties to pre-Communist China and Thailand, among other places.
