<p>You've heard of HYP, HYPS, HYPSM, etc. or some other variation of the "elites". I tossed in Caltech in there to make it the CHYMPS (Caltech, Hahvahd, Yale, MIT, Princeton, Stanford).</p>
<p>I was curious as to how people view these places relative to one another. How would you rank them?</p>
<p>For me, it's:
1. Stanford
2. MIT
3. Princeton
4. Harvard
5. Yale
6. Caltech</p>
<p>Granted, public opinion isn't everything, but I was curious. I'll be applying to 1,2, and 3 there myself.</p>
<p>1.Yale
2.Harvard
3.Stanford
4.Princeton
5. MIT
6. Caltech</p>
<p>id take uc-berkeley or upenn over any of these schools</p>

<ol>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Caltech</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Yale</li>
</ol>
<p>The last two strike me as remarkably elitist. Princeton's done a great job of going from "preppy" in the 80's to pretty cool nowadays. Well, wasn't alive then, but so I hear.</p>
