Rank the Ivy and Pseudo-Ivy League

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University
1

<p>Okay, finally the real rankings. No funny business and no messing around. I want people to rank these schools based simply on prestige factor. Don't factor in "campus life," "financial aid package," "night life," "food quality" or any junk like that--simply prestige factor. Which school has the best image?</p>

<p>Please rank the following schools from most prestigious to the least:</p>

<p>Members of the OFFICIAL Ivy League, Stanford, Duke, MIT, Cal Tech, Johns Hopkins, Washington University in St. Louis, University of Chicago, Northwestern, NYU, and, just for fun, Union College and [insert name here, your local state college]. </p>

<p>At the end of the posts, I will tally the results based on a point system. Please stick to the rules and keep the "you guys' are ridiculous" comments to a minimum.</p>

<p>Perception is Reality. Thank you.</p>
