It's the same damn schools, all the time, just slightly reshuffled.

These "rankings" are beyond worthless.

Is any other country as obsessed with rankings as the US? Seriously, in a country of 345 million people, how much different is school #8 from school #20. It's splitting hairs.

Haha, US is nothing compared to China, South Korea, and Singapore. In Shanghai and Beijing, one way for someone not from these cities to obtain certification as a "local resident" (which comes with several perks) is to graduate from a short list of less than 100 top global universities based on QS/Times/US News. In Singapore where elitism is out of control, it's not Ivy or bust, it's Oxbridge/HYPSM or bust. They thumb their nose at UPenn, Duke, and Columbia. Folks in the US are much more reasonable and level-headed.

Harvard
Stanford
UPenn
Yale
MIT
Princeton
Duke
Columbia
UChicago
Dartmouth

Williams
Amherst
Pomona
Swarthmore
CMC
Harvey Mudd
Wellesley
Bowdoin
Middlebury
Colgate

I like this list bcs it adds the two together. We have almost exclusively lists that don't. To do separate seems to me to deflate wasp and inflate Colgate etc a #10 LAC is just not comparable to a t20 university in outcomes or resources or even faculty.

In that you were challenged in formatting your post, your impression should not be surprising.

No your post is just incoherent. You brought up pairings arbitrarily and the explanation is a word salad.

You're OK with me, my friend.

Columbia is definitely a top 10 and if the ranking is undergrad focused, Dartmouth is definitely a stronger academic school than NU or JHU.

JHU and Northwestern are T10, not Columbia or Dartmouth.

(no kid at Penn, but wondering if place on list is about Wharton exclusively)

A&S and Engineering are top because the students are very motivated to get good career outcomes and grad school admissions. A&S has top medicine, business, and law grads.

Penn is great, but it’s no MIT or Princeton overall.

Because the high-quality UG education leads to excellent outcomes, not a mystery.

The top schools are the top schools.

Different rankings, pretty much the same schools.

Apply to them and give it a shot!

Really ? Because I hate them all. So subjective

Leaving out the academies, these are the Top 10 publics they list.

U Michigan
UCLA
UC Berkeley
UVa
UNC
Georgia Tech
U Texas Austin
U Florida
UCSD
William and Mary

Appears to pertain to peer quality/outcomes/academics more than USnews.
