<p>Here is my version of the private university rankings taken from hax0rz</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Harvard</p></li>
<li><p>Stanford</p></li>
<li><p>MIT</p></li>
<li><p>UPenn</p></li>
<li><p>Columbia</p></li>
<li><p>Duke</p></li>
<li><p>Washington University in St. Louis</p></li>
<li><p>University of Chicago</p></li>
<li><p>Dartmouth</p></li>
<li><p>Cornell/ Brown </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Zebra. I know you are young, but c’mon. What about Yale and Princeton?</p>
<p>What is it about WUSTL that you dislike so much. Really, I am interested?</p>
<p>Yea Zebrafish, don’t forget the P and Y!</p>
<p>I editted your list for you:</p>
<p>**
<ol>
<li><p>Princeton</p></li>
<li><p>Stanford</p></li>
<li><p>MIT</p></li>
<li><p>UPenn</p></li>
<li><p>Columbia</p></li>
<li><p>Duke</p></li>
<li><p>Washington University in St. Louis</p></li>
<li><p>University of Chicago</p></li>
<li><p>Dartmouth</p></li>
<li><p>Cornell</p></li>
<li><p>Brown **</p></li>
</ol>
<p>just can’t seem to distinguish between Harvard and Yale in terms of prestige. Both very elite schools.</p>
<p>personally:</p>
<ol>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Stanford
7/8. Chicago, Caltech
9/10. Brown, Dartmouth
11/12/13. Penn, Berkeley, Duke
14/15. Cornell, Northwestern</li>
</ol>
<p>I think that Dartmouth and Brown go before University of Chicago.</p>
<p>At your previous post: see above, also, self-aggrandizing acceptees (note that i didn’t use the word attendees)</p>
<p>Actually zebrafish, I looked at your list and I would actually put Cornell higher.</p>
<p>**
<ol>
<li><p>Princeton</p></li>
<li><p>Stanford</p></li>
<li><p>MIT</p></li>
<li><p>UPenn</p></li>
<li><p>Columbia</p></li>
<li><p>Duke</p></li>
<li><p>Washington University in St. Louis</p></li>
<li><p>University of Chicago</p></li>
<li><p>Cornell</p></li>
<li><p>Brown</p></li>
<li><p>Dartmouth
**</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Most prestigious publics I say are UC Berkeley, UVA, and UCLA.</p>
<p>Harvard, Princeton, Yale, MIT, Stanford, Columbia, Caltech, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Chicago, Penn, Brown, Cornell, Duke, Brown</p>
<p>also what questionable admissions practices does WashU practice?</p>
<p>there’s threads upon threads of this, look at rjk’s post</p>
<p>where are the threads? im curious to see it.</p>
<p>@ “I think that Dartmouth and Brown go before University of Chicago.”
cool</p>
<p>“I think that Dartmouth and Brown go before University of Chicago.”</p>
<p>Second this.</p>
<p>Grouped by international prestige only…I tried not to let personal bias or actual academic standards influence my rankings!</p>
<p>Group 1: Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Yale
Group 2:Princeton, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Sorbonne
Group 3: McGill, Imperial College of London, L’Ecole Polytechnique, MIT
Group 4: Berkeley, Columbia, and a few others tie for this last spot- you choose ;)</p>
<p>(i.e. Brown, Dartmouth, UChicago, etc. etc. etc.)</p>
<p>i like how that directly contradicts with your previous assembled rankings, whale, it’s always good to see uncertainty in action</p>
<p>@travelbug
I think Berkeley should be in Group 1 if the list is for international prestige.
And Johns Hopkins should be in Group 4.</p>
<p>Just because some of you have never heard of UChicago does not erase its prestige. A diploma from UChicago carries immense weight. One only Wash U can dream of having. One must take a national and even global look when dealing with these issues. Brown does not deserve to go above UChicago, but Dartmouth I believe does. Its undergrad program is uncomparable.</p>
<p>@trackster:</p>
<p>This is what I meant:</p>
<p>**1. Harvard / Yale </p>
<ol>
<li><p>Princeton</p></li>
<li><p>Stanford</p></li>
<li><p>MIT</p></li>
<li><p>UPenn</p></li>
<li><p>Columbia</p></li>
<li><p>Duke</p></li>
<li><p>Washington University in St. Louis</p></li>
<li><p>Brown/ Dartmouth/ Cornell</p></li>
<li><p>University of Chicago**</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Since when is Yale on even with Harvard. First three are</p>
<p>Harvard
Princeton
Yale</p>
<p>Princeton > Yale
Don’t really know what else to contribute to this XD</p>
