<p>Terms of reputation to most people on average (alphabetical w/i group):
1.)Brown/Cornell/Dartmouth/Duke/Georgetown/Penn
2.)Amherst/UChicago/UVa/Williams
3.)Pomona/Swarthmore/Wesleyan
I tried to take into account regional and other differences here (e.g. people in NC might know of Duke but not Dartmouth, people in NH might know of Dartmouth but not Duke, so they're in the same group, but anyone who knows of Amherst also probably knows of Duke but not necessarily the other way around, so Amherst is in the next group... again, there are lots of assumptions here) but in the end I probably failed.</p>

UChicago
Cornell
Penn
