After HYPMSC, the following are in US News' top 25:

Chicago, Columbia, Penn, Duke, Dartmouth, Hopkins, Northwestern, Brown, Cornell, Rice, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, WashU, Georgetown, Emory, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, Carnegie Mellon, UVA

Is there a cutoff in that group?

In some respects I find them pretty equivalent, though I personally could see arguments for some or all of the following being in a distinct tier: Chicago, Columbia, Penn, Duke, Dartmouth, Northwestern, Brown

Thoughts?

Georgetown. National prestige factor due to proximity to power and political celebrities cycling out of government into there. Translates to pop culture e.g. Tracy Flick “wins” high school striver race and that’s her prize. Also SoFP as an elite signifier is real. Famous alumni with prestige level that blows away most of the rest of this list.

one thing i've thought of doing is taking an amount of cash equal to Harvard's total cost of attendance for 4 years and offering that to my kids either for school or in cash (with a few strings on the cash)

so, e.g., if Harvard's total cost of attendance is $300k, whatever they don't spend on college they get in cash.

would Lehigh really be worth $200k in cash to a HS kid over attending his state flagship?

Lol wut? UVA is 30% oos. And the in state population are mainly gigastrivers from the DC suburbs who are generic GC-brainwashed UMC future betas just like every other top 25 UG. UVA is fine oos if you want to pay 60k a year. Texas I agree with bc it’s like 93% Texans and it’s now stupidly expensive oos. Back in my day they used to give out instate tuition like candy and out of state was absurdly cheap so it made more sense then. But their faggot tea partier Aggie-dominated state lege killed all that off.

I think ND and Georgetown are great for Catholicmos. I'm not impressed by Rice or Emory, but I'm also not impressed by the STEM flame. I don't care for JHU.

There's also something really sad about Vandy, USC, and CMU.

I think all of these second-rate private schools offer full schollys, so that's consolation.

But I'm a New Yorker. I'd feel bad sending my stupid kid to rot in Binghamton. Maybe just do 4.0 at CUNY and CCN with no scholly.

of the remaining top 25, i'm trying to think where i wouldn't want to send my hypothetical kid

Definitely wouldn't be excited about Wash, Emory, Rice, Berkeley, or Carnegie Mellon

Borderline schools would be Hopkins, Notre Dame, UCLA, USC, maybe Vandy, maybe Brown

Aren't Berkeley and UCLA 70,000 per year for out of staters?

My 4.0/22XXmo cousin is going to UVA, and it's 60,000/y for OOSers.

Berkeley total COA for OOSers is 64,000:

UVA is great, and so is Michigan. UNC's academic rep doesn't match, IMO. It bothers me that there are so many coastal Jews at Mich.

I think there's a clear second tier that includes the other 5 ivies, Duke, Chicago and Northwestern. Also includes Amherst and Williams. 10 years ago I would have probably excluded Chicago from this tier but I think it belongs now.

Maybe this is colored by me being a NYmo, but back in the day we always found Cornell to be a step behind.

That's not to say I dislike Cornell as a school -- I applied but didn't go -- but it certainly wouldn't have been in that second tier.

I agree with this. It might be wrong (and either way it's 20 years old), but Cornell was viewed as being closer to the misc NYS privates than to, e.g., Brown or Penn.

This is the national perception. There’s a big gap between Columbia/Penn/Dartmouth and the rest of the ivies. Most cross admits would take duke over Cornell and not just because of the shit weather and likelihood of suicide.

Yeah, you may be right. But I sort of think super-study Ivy-obsessed Azns may have pushed it up due to dat IVY prestige in the past 15 years?

As a CA-mo in the 90s, it wasn't a popular school. People would go east for the other ivies (over Berkeley/UCLA/USC for sure) but I don't remember a lot of people going to Cornell or even applying.

Also back then Chicago was not a place were top students went - very midrange guys (smart but not the overachiever Ivy or Berkeley type) would go there.

Outside of the schools in the first tier mentioned, are any of the others a tier down worth it if you don't also have a desire for their region / social life? Meaning, if someone can go to Univ. of Colorado (their flagship state) then would it really make sense to go to furthest Cornell if you thought living in upstate NY would be miserable? I think unless you are getting the top tier, it doesn't make sense to venture across the country and pay close to full freight to go to some place like JHU or Emory.

True. It's interesting because with the situation re: UC admissions being crazy, a lot of parents here are now discovering Big10 schools. The lady who runs my kid's school has an IU/Kelley B-School sticker on her car; she was so excited to talk about how her son goes there. It's like a novelty to them to discover that a suitably good education can be had in a flyover state.

I go back and forth.

I think money becomes an issue. If you live in Colorado and you're really smart and your parents make too much to get aid, then going to CU Boulder might make sense over paying a shitton for Emory or Notre Dame.

That said, I do think there is some tangible value to those other top 25 schools, but as you said you have to want that kind of a school.

This is another reason why getting into one of the top tier is important.

I went to a school mentioned above, and it actually ended up being cheaper than my state flagship because of financial aid (free money/grants, not loans), and my parents aren't poor, very MC. The top schools have yuge endowments (of which they could use more for scholarships if they weren't shelling out millions for "diversity" employees)

Students graduating with remaining scholarship semester(s) may use these monies toward graduate school and/or law school study at UA.
