None of those are prestigious
Prestige is ivy+ (ivies plus mit stanford duke chicago)
Or maybe expand to the top20 privates plus WAS lacs. Some would add the top 5 publics but only UCB is truly prestigious.
Somewhat true. But these days top students want to go to UCLA more than Berkeley and Pomona more than WAS.
They want to go USC.
USC - way more than DCUM would have you believe

Show us on the doll where UCLA hurt you.
The top ranked public for basically the last decade, with the most applications in the U.S. and the lowest acceptance rate of all publics, is only considered on Virginia’s or Michigan’s level by those in their 50s? Feel free to also peep the cross admit data and the comprehensive student rankings when you’re ready to return to reality.
UCLA was pretty easy to get into in the 1980s and 1990s. It was a good school but not prestigious. Berkeley was much better academically.

Everywhere else (other than Boston or wealthy Cali areas) - any school your kid got into that is happy at = bumper sticker for that school on the car
Georgetown is also outside T20, but deemed prestigious by many if not most.
Particularly SFS which i the #1 school of its kind in the world.

Before you comment on a school's prestige, you might want to learn how to spell Berkeley.

Penn does not belong in that top group. Not even Wharton. Yale has far more prestige.
30 years ago you would have been correct. Now Penn is in the top group.
Penn is on the rise with over 72,000 apps this year. Yale apps went down.
