<p>I welcome everybody to go to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HYMPS%5B/url%5D">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HYMPS</a> to help me edit this new article about HYMPS.</p>
<p>is this wrong? i thought it was also sometimes HYPMS..D for Duke?? just wondering...</p>
<p>that's stretching it</p>
<p>It's definitely HYPMS.</p>
<p>Just for the record.</p>
<p>HYMPS is like humps with a weird accent.</p>
<p>at the undergraduate level, it's HYPSMC, or alternately arranged CHYMPS, and the C is for caltech. these six schools stand a clear cut above the rest on several important measures of selectivity.</p>
<p>HYP go together as "the big three", Stanford MIT makes it HYPSM, which I feel flows more nicely than HYPMS?</p>
<p>HYPSMC, doods.</p>
<p>i personally like PSYCH'M</p>
<p>PSYCH'M is my formulation, and I obviously prefer it.</p>
<p>The teeny-tiny equivalent is WASH'M, for Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Haverford and Middlebury (my top 5).</p>
<p>I note that the Wiki article is a "candidate for deletion" ..... a fate it richly deserves.</p>
<p>you thought of PSYCH'M, too? well, I guess it's a pretty expected outcome that other people would come up with it independently; after all, the letters are all there.</p>
