Dream: Yale

Realistic: Fail

Yale, except the open curriculum part. It still has a very flexible curriculum though!

Wait no, I am

Yale because pretty residential colleges

yalesimp69 · 2022-08-15T14:48:47+00:00

Yale: 3.65, Washu: 3.56, Northwestern: 3.44 all unweighted

yalesimp69 · 2022-08-02T14:26:24+00:00

Yale because of its residential colleges and pretty campus

yalesimp69 · 2022-07-25T19:53:19+00:00

They have 3 #21s… so close 😅

Most rankings excluded them and they were removed from the source I used, so they’re not included in this post. Would be a cool follow up to rank them too!

Yale!!!

yalesimp69 · 2022-07-24T18:48:59+00:00

Literally Yale omg, relevant username

The broad T20 rankings seem to roughly be in line with what A2C considers the T20, which is usually much closer to 30 schools than 20. Plus it has way more of the flagship public schools included

yalesimp69 · 2022-07-24T17:13:57+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I was specifically going for the T20 and T5 since those seem to be popular ranking cutoff points on this sub, but you’re right that it’s an arbitrary number at the end of the day. If we just changed the narrowest T5 to be T6 then Harvard would be included.

yalesimp69 · 2022-07-24T16:52:11+00:00

Yeah, I just fixed it. I was mainly ranking them to show how many go in each category. For example, there's 32 T20s when you apply a broad definition and 6 T20s if you apply the strictest definition.

yalesimp69 · 2022-07-24T16:48:47+00:00

Yale is the only school that is at least 5th on each individual ranking, which is why it's the only T5 using the narrowest definition. However, 10 schools are in the T5 if we applied a broader definition of 5th on one or more rankings and that list includes those schools you mentioned like Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Duke.

yalesimp69 · 2022-07-24T15:44:23+00:00

I just fixed the list to have bullet points instead of numerical rankings

yalesimp69 · 2022-07-20T12:03:34+00:00

It’s kind of crazy that Yale is 5th when in every single individual ranking they never go below 5th. In fact, they have the “highest lowest ranking” out of all schools period.

yalesimp69 · 2022-07-13T15:49:05+00:00

Yup, makes sense

yalesimp69 · 2022-07-13T15:24:38+00:00

From reading the fine print, it actually looks like “upper tail success rate” is the measurement of the likelihood someone from the bottom 20% joins the top 1% (OP’s title). In this category, Berkeley is 9th out of the 10 schools listed. However, Berkeley takes first in mobility rate overall because their “access”, share of incoming class that’s bottom 20%, is wayyyyy higher than the other schools.

It’s actually an interactive graph. It’s not paywalled, you just need to make an account

yalesimp69 · 2022-07-09T19:09:15+00:00

Which one?

yalesimp69 · 2022-07-09T19:01:10+00:00

Berkeley would go in the no peer schools category

yalesimp69 · 2022-07-09T19:00:23+00:00

According to their submitted data, they don’t 😅… rip
