Nice! Thanks for posting
Our goal should be to break into the top 6 and stay there!
That seems reasonable - HYPSMD. Not that these rankings mean a lot, but I think that is not far from being the case.
When I went to Stanford 35 years ago it had a reputation as a top school, but coming from the east coast it really wasn’t targeted the same way as it is now. I was the only person from my school to apply. I never applied to Duke, but it seems to be evolving into an elite option much the way Stanford did. I’m not sure this is a good thing for me personally, as my kids still have some years to go until they apply to colleges.
