Today I learned that Dartmouth and Cornell are not Ivy League schools, and that there is a seeeekrit iveee in Washington, DC. You can learn a lot when you get your American history from a European.
Oh, so there's a canonical ranking of ivies? I strongly doubt Penn outranks Brown.
Here's your fucking missing variable: these are the oldest American cities and the oldest American colleges. At about 200-300 years, they're probably at the peak of their importance. Maybe in another 100 years, you could draw a line up the West Coast. Demographics is not a conspiracy.
You know what's a great book? Franz Kafka's unfinished "Amerika". You should read it.
Try this one: Every morning, people wake up and are sleepy. They stumble toward a seeekrit symbol where caffeine is dispensed. It's some kind of green sea witch. HOW DID THEY KNOW? What secret path of communication let them know that Starbuck would give them coffee? WHOO PLANNED IT? THE JOOZ?

The title says top 5 not all. Try to read the title again to understand why 'seeekrit iveee' is irrelevant.

STAAAHP. Demographics is not a conspiracy.
