<p>this is so rediculous. everyone is going to have their own idea of the best colleges and what qualifies as elite. While some schools are indisputably "elite", it's really frivolous to argue over what belongs in that category. oh, and not to mention pretentious. especially whoever graded the schools. that was proposterous. you can't just split schools up into categories based on their selectivity and say that that's what qualifies them as the best college/university. there a countless other factors that come into play and that are different for everyone.</p>
