You worry about you.

T10, T20, T30 etc. is the USNews ranking with those number assignments. It is not anything else. To anyone who uses the term that is what it means.

I have noticed that whenever someone says they attend a “Top 10” it is invariably Chicago or Hopkins. Just like the kid attending an “Ivy” goes to Cornell.

Really? Why do I see the opposite?

Good luck.

Name your school or return to your cranny beneath the troll bridge.

PP. Chances are the OP won’t catch your humor 🙂 Let it be. It does help the U.S. economy when outsiders buy into prestige.

Not true to our school. The kids going to MIT, JHU, CMU, Caltec, etc often have higher stats than some ivy kids. But their EC in a tier below. I personal know a couple of kids going to Georgia Tech/UT Austin with higher GPA/SAT than their classmates who goes to Cornell.

Hmm. I always assumed people meant "just below Ivies" when they say T10, T20, T30, etc. Like there are Ivies, and then the top 10 schools that aren't Ivies (which most people will agree on at least 4-5 of those and then kind of deviate based on the region they grew up in or their degree focus).

+1. You can tell OP has spent their entire life thinking about T10 schools 24 hrs a day.
