You list ranked by Princeton Review Academic Rating scores. Thought it would be interesting to compare to the list above which appears to be more of a synthesis of rankings.

Academics
How hard students work and how much they get back for their efforts, on a scale of 60–99. This rating is calculated from student survey results and statistical information reported by administrators. Factors weighed include how many hours students study outside of the classroom and the quality of students the school attracts. We also considered students' assessments of their professors, class size, student–teacher ratio, use of teaching assistants, amount of class discussion, registration, and resources.

My breakdown would be:
1A) MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, Duke, Yale
1B) Penn, Caltech, Columbia, Northwestern

2A) Vanderbilt, Rice, Dartmouth, Brown, UChicago, Cornell, Williams, Amherst, Pomona
2B) UMich, Johns Hopkins, WashU, Notre Dame, Georgetown, UCLA, Berkeley, Swarthmore, Bowdoin, Claremont McKenna

3A) UVA, UNC, CMU, UF, Emory, USC, Georgia Tech, Wellesley, Barnard, Carleton, Middlebury
3B) UCSD, BC, UT Austin, W&M, UIUC, W&L, Vassar, Davidson, Hamilton, Haverford

1A Yale and Princeton

MIT is limited in the breadth of its excellence, so it should be in 1B with CalTech and others.

Duke would like to be lumped in with that 1B group with or ahead of numerous Ivy League schools but 2A feels about right.

Swarthmore should pretty clearly be with Williams, Amherst, and Pomona in 2A. For a decent sized group of people who want to attend a small LAC, those really are their top choices too.

Seven Sisters wise, I'd put Wellesley in 2B with Bowdoin and Smith and Barnard in 3A (Smith, not on this list, is pretty established at least slightly ahead of Barnard)

Claremont McKenna has some private equity placement and $$ but it should probably be in 3A or even B. Most people there would rather be at neighboring Pomona (almost like a tiny version of the Harvard - MIT split)!

W&M probably shouldn't be included at this point (though regionally it is strong).

Adults spend time on Reddit?

Oh, child. It’s the fifth largest website in the world. You’re genuinely sheltered if you think Reddit is the purview of, what, 12 year olds?
