Wait…so basically you’re asking if how much you like a school should impact your rankings?
I think you answered your own question. Obviously, rank based on what most appeals to you, not just the “prestige” of a school. And besides, Columbia is close enough to the top (almost HYPS) that liking it a lot more than those schools weighs more than the insignificantly small amount of extra prestige those schools have.
