Elite?
The answer is Ivy+ MIT, Duke, Johns Hopkins, U Chicacgo, Northwestern, Stanford, Caltech
That's it for elite.
Top school?
A lot more. If the average international student has heard of it, then it is a top school.

I don't think Notre Dame belongs on the list - it should go with Emory and Wash U - but other than that the list looks fine.

Top publics like UCLA, UVA, UMich, and UNC are widely respected and regarded as terrific schools, but people wouldn't consider them "elite", per se.

How ever many you want there to be. There is no 1 answer, just what people want to hear/believe.

The number is whatever you want. It’s all arbitrary - there is little significant difference between school #50 and school #51, or 100 and 101, etc. Draw the line whenever you like.

All the places that the most accomplished people I know attended. (So that would put the number at 150? And not necessarily the top 150 in USWNR)
