HYPSM+Caltech and then Columbia at the bottom.
Chicago is a wannabe elite who aggressively manipulates for the rankings. Columbia manipulates too, but not as hard.

Columbia is #2, tied with H and M. Y is #5, pushing S to #6.
If C were the bottom, Y and S don’t even make the list.

Columbia is not only not #2, there is a huge gap between it and HYPSM.

CalTech is a one trick pony, similar to JHU. It’s correctly ranked along JHU.

It's "Caltech"! If Caltech is one trick pony, JHU is no trick.

How’ve does Columbia manipulate? Doesn't pass the smell test. It’s the only ivy that didn’t discriminate against Jews. It’s not the type that cares about what everyone else does.

Any school with ED manipulates ranking.

Nobody gives a hoot about ND, Emory, NW, or Vandy.

Any school with <20% acceptance rate.

Northwestern is elite. Period.

Bates, Bowdoin, University of Rochester, University of Richmond, and Lehigh University.

When you rank them from 1-4500 it’s pretty inaccurate. USNEWS now ranks several in the same position because the US is large and many regionals are equal. Also Cornell has an international ranking in the hard sciences. Don’t know why you think it’s such a lesser Ivy.

+1. Only when I’m feeling extra generous like during the holidays.
