In Your Own Biased, Personal Opinion: Most Prestigious Schools

<p>top 10 (in no order, ignoring LACs because I don't know them that well):</p>

<p>HYPSM, Caltech, Columbia, Chicago, Wharton, Brown</p>

<p>HYP
Stanford, MIT
Brown, Dartmouth, Columbia, Cornell, Penn, Duke, Caltech</p>

<p>I like Gomes' list. I would add Cal, Chicago, Johns Hopkins and Northwestern to his third group.</p>

<p>A fourth group would include Carnegie Mellon, Emory, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Rice, UIUC, UCLA, UNC, UT-Austin, UVA, Vanderbilt, Washington U., Wisconsin</p>

<p>The fifth group would have Boston College, Brandeis, NYU, Rochester, Tufts, UCSD, USC</p>

<p>I am leaving Michigan out because everytime I mention Michigan, the thread goes ape!</p>
