<p>^ Keep your greedy hands OFF! :D</p>

<p>I disagree about MIT; part of the reason why it’s halved its acceptance rate in less than 10 years is because of its rapidly growing departments in areas other than engineering. There are many more business/economic/humanitarians majors than there were in years past. I think largely it has transcended its geeky reputation.</p>

<p>And CHYMPS. I like CHYMPS. People who apply to CHYMPS because they are prestige-obsessed are no better than chymps.</p>

<p>I presume the W is for Wisconsin, not Williams.</p>

25

<p>^^^^wustl.</p>

26

<p>Actually it stands for Duke.</p>

27

<p>Y and P are a level below.</p>

28

<p>Most of Princeton’s Graduate students are in Woody Woo, no? I wouldn’t consider that a step below!</p>

<p>I’d say Stanford and MIT have prestige equal to or greater than that of the Ivy League. Why? Because they’re frequently mistaken to be members of the Ivy League.</p>

<p>If you break up the Ivy League and look at individual schools, Stanford and MIT have more prestige than most of them. It’s also hard to say that HYP is universally more prestigious, since in some places (often outside the US), S and M are more prestigious than Y and P.</p>

<p>This is so stupid.</p>

31

<p>Tijuana tech ftw</p>

32

<p>Stanford and MIT are less prestigious than Harvard, but more than Yale or Princeton.</p>

<p>Of the five, Stanford has the highest potential. Stanford has accomplished as much if not more than the others in much less time!</p>

<p>Keep in mind that 50 years ago, Stanford was still mostly a regional school. It became a world-class university in a single generation.</p>
