Full ride at schools that don’t give merit (ivy) just means that your parents are poor. Doesn’t mean you’ve got great stats.

As they should, frankly.

To me, T10 includes Duke, Western, and Vandy. T15 includes top public’s, including UCB, UCLA, UNC, Michigan, GTech, and UTA.

Lately, people brag more about the full ride...

The stats of kids at our school go to US News T10s like Chicago, Hopkins, Northwestern are always in a tier below the stats of ivy kids.

I have noticed that whenever someone says they attend a “Top 10” it is invariably Chicago or Hopkins. Just like the kid attending an “Ivy” goes to Cornell.

Accurate.

Northwesterners usually just say Northwestern. Maybe because they made T10 only a couple years.

I think attending an "Ivy" only true for Ag and hotel. CAS kids just say Cornell.

But this is how OP defines their life!

+1. You can tell OP has spent their entire life thinking about T10 schools 24 hrs a day.

Because you spend all day on this forum and know who is posting by their writing style? Get a life.

Except Cornell is currently ranked by US News above Dartmouth, Brown and Columbia.

Sounds about right.

Sigh… OP has a journey ahead

UChicago and JHU are lower than all ivies. It’s an insult to MIT/Caltech when you try to put them in the same sentence.

Ok it makes you feel better

For LAC folks, T10s means top 10 liberal arts colleges.

Just don’t say that any of these (actually, most) are better than those Johns Hopkins and Chicago fake top 10s. If you include SLACs, not sure Johns Hopkins and Chicago are even top 20…

HYPSM always considered in the top 10. But there are at least 25 "top 10s" depending on what publication you read, whom you speak with, where you reside, and what college your kid attends.
