+1. This is a very informed list imo. Once you get out of US, schools that have strong research and professional schools tend to outshine the oversized LAC types. I know many would disagree with Columbia at #4 and rounding out #9 and #10 with NU and JHU, but I think this is more representative of how global industries tend to view these schools.
Columbia at #4 doesn't strike me as improbable at all. I think if Princeton weren't perennially ranked #1 by US News, it would be considered less desirable than Harvard, Yale, and yes, even Columbia within the Ivy League.
God, this is stupid. Einstein was faculty at Princeton, for christ's sake. Einstein.
You people and your rankings are a pox on the entire college process.
Ok, and Enrico Fermi was faculty at Columbia. And Obama is a Columbia grad. What’s your point?

You might be interested that Einstein was never on faculty at Princeton. He did research at an affiliated research lab on campus. He never lectured in English, there was always a German translator. Just something interesting.

Oh... yikes. That's embarrassing. The lab - Institute for Advanced Study - is not affiliated with Princeton, it just happens to be located in Princeton, NJ.
Princeton boosters.
Columbia still loses vast majority of cross admits![]()
Yale vs. Princeton: 61-39
Princeton vs. Columbia: 64-36
More than a third of the admitted students choose Columbia over Princeton in the RD round, which doesn’t even reflect the ED students who had Columbia as their absolute #1 choice. That’s not “the vast majority,” and you should stop conflating everything. It makes you sound pathetic and desperate.
Let’s just say even for people who hate Columbia, Columbia is still their secret dream school. Donald J Trump “hated” Columbia as a disgraceful liberal institution. Yet, he sent Barron to Columbia Preparatory in hopes of living every man’s dream of attending Columbia through his son.

The point is all these DMV HYPSM prestige hogs have no connection whatsoever with HYPSM, seeing they know nothing about schools they are rooting for. They sound more like uneducated hicks from hick town who voted for Yongkin.
Einstein was not faculty at Princeton, though.
