@Crewdad You have posted this list, which was actually compiled by another, here uncredited, CC poster, on multiple threads lately. In my opinion, any list posted on CC should relate to the OP’s particular interests and consist of more than just the replication of another commenter’s viewpoints.
It is important to be clear about your sources when posting on CC. The list you posted looks very official, but is lacking an outside link or original source. It also contains a rather eclectic list of schools, all excellent institutions IMO, but some are questionably excluded or included. Colgate, for instance, is noted for its strength in the business world, but does not appear at all; Harvey Mudd, which enrolls students with the fourth highest SAT scores in the nation, appears as a sixth “tier” school; Bennington does not offer a physics major.
If your intent is to offer your opinion with such a list, then please state this in your post. If, however, you are offering information based on data and statistics, then please reveal your source, and perhaps a link, for said data, so that we may have the option of reviewing it independently.
