<p>Mt. Stanford only at 13963!?</p>

<p>Another example of ridiculous under-ranking.</p>

3

<p>Stanford is the real number 1.</p>

4

<p>Mt. Stanford, unfortunately, is not a Fourteener, and is "one of the Sierra's least visible major peaks."</p>

5

<p>I'm talking about schools, not mountain peaks. The google boys are putting Stanford over the top (even though they didn't go there for undergrad).</p>

6

<p>These rankings get more crazy every time... O_o</p>

7

<p>"Offers a good view of Mt. Harvard" :P</p>

8

<p>Haha.</p>

<p>Towering at 14,433', Mt. Elbert edges out Mt. Harvard by a staggering 19 feet. Now where can we get one of THOSE applications?</p>

<p>I would say Princeton is a bit higher than yale......;)</p>

10

<p>eek! lolz. i think it's hilarious to name mt peaks after schools..</p>

11

<p>How hard do you reckon it would be to get into Everest University, or maybe the U of K2? You probably need like a 2500 on your SAT or something.</p>

12

<p>Ooh, I want to go to Rainier U. One o' the tallest peaks around.</p>

<p><em>edit</em> In the US, I mean.</p>

13

<p>Sorry, but neither are in the Collegiate Range!</p>

<p>There is, however, a Rainier College in Washington State:</p>
