Where do you draw the line for “top schools” / prestigious
I’ve always been curious where people internally draw the line for prestigious schools/top schools. A lot of people just say they go to a “prestigious school” but I feel like everyone has different perceptions of that
Do you draw it at just HYPSW? Do you include all ivies, mit, Chicago, Duke?
I personally draw it at the T20 schools, schools at or just around Us news and Forbes rankings- in reality there is more like 25. (This would include schools like Vanderbilt, Williams, USC, Georgetown, UCLA). At the same time though I recognize ranking doesn’t always translate to prestige.

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
Personally, when I think of prestigious schools I think of Ivies, Stanford, Duke, Uchicago, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Caltech, MIT, Rice, Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, Amherst, and Williams.
Might add Vandy but otherwise sounds about right tbh.
would add vandy, washu, ND, and the top public schools - mich/cal/ucla/uva
Completely off topic, but I wonder if someone who went to CalTech and wanted to break into banking could do so feasibly. fantastic school and all those guys hit the books harder than anywhere -> maybe this is the same question as asking if Julliard Students could break into IB.
Caltech probably relatively easily. They have the intellectual rigor and quant background, only need to learn the finance/accounting side of IB. It's also recognized as a top school even outside harder sciences.
A couple Julliard students probably have a background that could fit and could pull it off after catching up on the quant & finance/accounting side, but those would be exceptions. It would also work differently from a recognition perspective - they would definitely be "interesting" candidates, but maybe not taken as seriously as others.
