HYP, MIT, Stanford, and Duke. The rest are interchangeable.

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.
There's about 15 schools in the top 10.
The Ivy 8 plus CalTech, Duke, Chicago, MIT, Northwestern, Stanford, Johns Hopkins
Not all ivies carry the same prestige. Brown, Dartmouth and Columbia are below CalTech, Duke, Chicago, MIT, Northwestern, Stanford, and Hopkins.

There are at least 10 schools that are as good or better than the Ivy League universities. And many more if you are interested in STEM. Off the top of my head -
MIT
Stanford
Duke
Rice
Chicago
Northwestern
Johns Hopkins
Vanderbilt
Cal Tech
Berkeley
Notre Dame
And many more for students interested in engineering - Georgia Tech, Michigan, CMU, Texas and several other flagship schools
Lots of 18 year olds will choose those schools over the various Ivy League schools. Most parents have a pretty outdated view about where the best students go today.

I mean, if you really want to split hairs about it, T10s are the top ten schools by whatever metric you're referring to. That is not the same as the ivies and MIT and Stanford. If your kid is applying to all the ivies and MIT and Stanford, just say that.

Northwestern is top 10. Cannot say the same for lower ivies.

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.
It’s hilarious how you & OP sit at home discussing prestige and bashing UChicago and JHU when you probably went to a state school and could never survive there, let alone be admitted.

Nice trolling but Chicago and Hopkins have been top 5 in enrolled freshman stats for the longest time. Northwestern is usually top 10.

So HYPMS, Caltech, Chicago, Penn, Columbia, Brown are T10s.
I don't know why Hopkins is not even in T20.
Please explain what citizensbank.com is and how they have credibility in creating any list on college rankings.

Johns Hopkins is not in the T20 for that list because it includes LSACs, some of which are generally considered better than JHU. That list is actually pretty good.
almost right as amherst and williams are bottom 50. take off bowdoin and pomona and it is spot on
