Columbia
Duke
Chicago-Penn
Northwestern

Penn = douchey but Ivy
Chicago = miserable nerds, but prestigious

Not looking for a lecture on fit or prestige. People can be curious about different things.

Dumb and unimaginative. Do better OP.

Why holier than thou? You’re on this board on gorgeous Sunday.

The question is which school do *you* think is most prestigious; most people have an opinion on that. If you’re asked what’s your favorite food, just say your favorite food. Don’t go it depends, is it a full moon and am I menopausal? Am I trying to lose weight or cooking for my local soup kitchen? It’s a simple question; don’t overthink it.

I regret to inform you that most people do not, in fact, have an opinion on the relative prestige of these five schools. It’s not a normal thing to ask like asking about favorite foods.

The question is “in your community”. If your community happens to be internationals in Asia, UC Berkeley may even crack the top 5

I would say San Francisco 49ers.

No idea about prestige ranking, which is subjective.
But in terms of ranking by where the top kids go: Penn, Columbia, NU, Duke, Chicago. NYC bias.

That is what happens when you can no longer fake statistical reporting like Columbia did for decades. Not even being located in NYC can save it now.

Did Columbia also falsify data it reported to Times/QS/Shanghai rankings?
