CHYMPS

Acronym standing for the 6 best universities in the United States: Columbia, Harvard, Yale, MIT, Princeton and Stanford.

How they stack up against each other:
–According to rankings–
Princeton #1
Harvard #2
Columbia #3
Yale #4
MIT #5
Stanford #6

–According to acceptance rate–
Stanford <4%
Harvard 4%

When the "P" is used to refer to University of Pennsylvania and NOT Princeton or the "C" is used to refer to Cal Berkeley, Caltech, or University of Chicago and NOT Columbia, this is either 1) a made up acronym 2) referring to a specific area of study e.g. Economics

Nowadays, getting into an Ivy League university is not as impressive as getting into CHYMPS.
