What about ‘focus’?

This word can take either double or single s, with the single option being highly preferred.

word present participle past participle

I've always understood that Harvard had the most prestige, but Yale and Princeton were best for undergraduate education.

I don't even know what schools you guys are talking about. Among the IVY colleges, I think it's between Ivy Tech and Ivy Christian College.

You seem to be getting your understanding of American higher education from Chinese/Korean/Indian how to guides.

What is S stands for in HYPS?


Stanford is as elite as any Ivy, but it is not an Ivy. Some people just use H/P/S/Y to connote that it belongs with the rest of the top Ivy League schools in terms of prestige.
