I think most people who are relatively knowledgeable in the matter of college admissions will agree that the elite universities in the US are Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford.

</p>
<p>please add in MIT, it is definately just as elite if not more than those 4 mentioned :)</p>
<p>Stanford is technically located in Stanford, California, although most people will just say Palo Alto, California, which is the town/city very nearby. </p>
<p>Palo Alto is a city in Santa Clara County, in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, USA. Palo Alto is located at the northern end of Silicon Valley, and is home to Stanford University (which is technically located in an adjacent area Stanford, California), and to several successful high-technology companies. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 58,598. Palo Alto is home to the headquarters of Hewlett-Packard. It is named for a tree called El Palo Alto.</p>
<p>What does it mean, for you people, to be an "elite university?" Define your criteria and perhaps we can discuss which US universities should receive this prestigious title.</p>
<p>Sakky, the WSJ "feeder school" rankings note that Stanford is particularly good at producing MBAs. I don't have the link, however.</p>
<p>its comments about stanford: "Based on our numbers, does a particularly strong job at spawning future MBA stars; med school could use work."</p>
<p>Stanford's yield hasn't been announced yet. It's usually published in the fall, as well as data as to which schools they lose cross-admits. Yield is usually around 67%.</p>
<p>baba, Stanford places 3rd in the latest Revealed Preference Rankings whilst Penn places 12th. That makes Penn the lowest ranked Ivy after Cornell, and indicates that Penn loses the majority of common admits to its Ivy League and Peer Group rivals.</p>
<p>can you please link to said revealed preference rankings?</p>
<p>Leland Stanford Jr College yield of 2005 would like this:
Applicants 20,000( West 14000, ex West 6000)
Acc Rate( West: CA, WY, OR, NV UT, AZ) 10%, Yield rate: 90%
Acc rate ex-West: 16%, yield 35%
West Acc: 1400, yield:1260
ex=West Acc:1000, yield:350
Total Acc: 2400( 12%) Total Yield 1610( 67%)</p>

<p>If you actually cite a credible source, people might actually start to believe you. Until then, don't even bother posting numbers that you pull out of your @$$. You're just wasting everyone's time.</p>

<p>USC more popular than SF here ha ha haha</p>
<p>MIT's engineering + Harvard's liberal arts = Stanford!</p>
<p>Weather!!!</p>
<p>oh baba, i wonder why usc is more "popular" than stanford among andover students... hmm, maybe because they didn't get accepted to stanford but did to usc? anyone who says upenn college is better than stanford is officially a douche bag.</p>
<p>Yeah, baba, if USC is more popular than Stanford, is UPenn also more popular than Harvard?</p>
<p>(Nothing against UPenn -- it's a fine school -- but probably Harvard wins its cross-admits, which I would assume would be the case with Stanford and USC as well)</p>
