Best contenders imo are:

Chicago at #3

Hopkins at #11

Rice at #14

Emory at #21

USC at #21

Every single Hopkins UG is 115 to 120 iq. Nobody goes there for UG if they are actually very bright. You would have a better chance finding a 130+ person at Big State U.

Probably Rice.

It has no prestige outside of Texas, possibly only Houston.

That being said it's a good school for STEM.

It's an extremely small school (less than 4000 undergrads) that's primarily focused on engineering and science.

A lot of grads go to work in the oil industry in Texas.

Its student body as a whole is the ugliest group of people I've ever met. Some clean cut bros. BUT. I went out to bars in Rice Village for YEARS, literally hire and do BD in Houston and have met hundreds of rice grads and have never once met a hot girl at or from rice. Never. Once.

Chicago by far. Shouldn't even be top 10 let alone #3, ahead of Stanford and MIT.

Columbia also slightly overrated at #5, should be around 8-10 or so.

I don't think Columbia is that overrated, as it's not ranked ahead of any of the other schools tied for #5.

You can pretty easily argue it should be ahead of Penn and Duke, but at worst it is overranked by only 1 spot.

If we're talking PLESTIGE maybe.

If we're talking actual talent/smarts of the ppl that went there, I actually highly rate Chicago as a hedge fund recruiter.

A lot of very smart ppl from there.

Vandy seems to have a high floor but a very low ceiling.

Also LOL at Cornell - their Arts&Sciences and Engineering are good, but AEM is meh, and ILR and CHE are just absofuckinglute jokes

USC/UCLA are shitty b/c of the sheer number of CC transfers

7-10 would be

7. Chicago

8. Columbia

9. Dartmouth

9. Duke (tie)

11. NW

11. Brown

13. Cornell

14. Wash U

15. JHU

16. Vandy

Berkeley should be the only UC in t25, and UVA also should be t20-25

Notre dame also 20ish

idk where to put Rice

Georgetown should NOT be no. 20

Emory as well

10.

thoughts on LACs? Aside from the good ones I think you're basically going there for grade inflation (for things that take your GPA at face value like law and med school admissions)

the right tail at t20 public universities is actually pretty impressive, scrappy immigrant STEM kids etc who don't make it a good environment for little miss prep school to get her 3.6 to get into bigstate law, low tier med, some interview for a non-tech job at bigtech for women and gays, etc

i'm the wrong person to ask because i'm biased against really small schools. i think larger schools (to a point) tend to offer a lot more.

that said, i agree with your take. my general feeling re an LAC is that you'd be better served going to a university with corresponding prestige/selectivity, because they offer more, are more fun, and have a better alumni network and name recognition.
