A much better Ranking. The Minus Harvard Ranking measured in “-H”
- Harvard
- -3 H : Stanford, MIT, UChicago, Cal Tech
- -5H. : Yale, Princeton, Columbia
- -8H : Penn, Duke, JHU 5 -12 H : NU, Dartmouth.
Nonetheless . . .
When then candidate, now Massachusetts governor, Charlie Baker was asked by the Boston Globe to take the Proust Questionnaire, he responded as follows:
Q: What is your greatest regret?
A: Not going to Hamilton College. I never really felt comfortable at Harvard.
What is Hamilton College?
Good question. And, for that matter, where is Massachusetts, what is the Boston Globe and who, pray tell, is Proust?
Lol @sushiritto
Oh captain my captain?
@sushiritto PSYCHM (usually HYPSMC) is already used sometimes to include Caltech. Caltech is a very special case though.
but I say HYPSM (or better yet SYMPH haha) will remain the true top tier on their own for many reasons.
the rest of the non-HYPSM schools that are widely established as top 10 (Penn, Columbia, Chicago, probably Duke too) have their moments every now and then and have had their moments in the past but they never have been able to be considered on the same breath as HYPSM).
@Penn95 I was just goofing, because @Chrchill was beating his chest with H as a stand alone.
As Will Hunting (Matt Damon) said in the movie Good Will Hunting, with any of these colleges, "You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.”

Don’t think running into debts is a great idea, especially at the start of your adult life. And it doesn’t matter how great a college is.
When I was applying my parents had a hard time being full pay at private colleges when I could attend a perfectly good UC for under $35k a year.
UCB and UCLA should be added to this list. I like the earlier published list by same promoter much better.
@preppedparent, only for in-state students, in my opinion.
My H is a graduate of UCLA, and my DD is a current student at UCB, Haas. Both OOS students. Worth every penny, in terms of job career, opportunities and salary.
