[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HYPSM has distinct shared attributes:

They have the top 5 endowments of all colleges.

They don't use binding early decisions.

They have the top 5 yield rate of all top colleges.

Their graduates are leaders of the country in academics, politics, law, tech, and business. Harvard has 7 Rhodes scholars this year. Princeton and Stanford have Nobel Price winners this year ...[/quote]

They don't have the top 5 amount of research funding.

They don't have the top 5 number of Nobel Laureates.

You see, you can pick any kinds of factors into comparison and get different top 5's.

So? No one says they are top 5 on everything. Harvard and MIT are in the top 5 of Nobel Laureates. Stanford, Yale, and Princeton are not that far behind. They also produce outstanding research. All other top schools use binding decisions to lock students yet don't have as high the yield rate. There isn't much debate about HYPSM being top 5.[/quote]

Not sure how PP concluded there isn’t much debate about Stanford being in T5, when in fact, many Stanford students agree with US News’ #6 ranking. [/quote]
