The only institutions in the country that are irreplaceable are
Harvard
Yale
Princeton
Hopkins
USNA
Stanford.
2 of the schools are in maryland. These schools fulfill a national purposes and needs.
Are you deranged?? This pathetic and not true at all.... would you be from Maryland??? If you really think this is true did you actually attend college?? Maybe USNA (BY the way I had no idea what that was and have never thought of as good bad or at all)?? Maybe Hopkins? Both not really ranked that highly.
graduate of two schools on that list in top 5 of any US survey and find your statement that only seven colleges matter insane
You don't know what USNA is? That's... just... incomprehensible. Not just for Marylanders, but also for any person living in the US. You might want to also look up West Point and USAFA while you're at it.
The Naval Academy is absolutely not for everyone, but it's ranking is pretty irrelevant to why it's a national treasure.
We can quibble over the PPs list, and there are probably a few schools missing, but it's a decent start.
