I’m not sure what comment of mine you believe you’re responding to, @Penn95 - I don’t think I’ve ever suggested that S isn’t a peer of HYP (and certainly not on this thread, which is about early decision) - although I do think S’ location outside the Northeast sets it apart. S is clearly the most selective university in the country on the numbers alone. Many students still turn it down, though, I would guess usually in favor of H, Y or P (at least Parchment would suggest this). I think relative prestige is a subject for another thread.
