I have some pecking order between some of them but I am not broadcasting it because I don't feel strongly about it.
I think that people that are that deep in the weeds and obsess over things like this and USN&WR rankings are the reason the whole process is such a nightmare now and schools feel the need to obsess over rankings, do tons of yield management, etc. People need to just chill the F out.
I kind of want my kids to go to a very good but not great school to stay away from all of these sad prestige hunters. They are insufferable.
My condolences on growing up in NJ. Hope things eventually got better for you. Hugs.
