    I'd say a lot of people know all of them except UPenn. Brown is known, just not as much as some of the others.

    Well known to who? Any employer who regularly takes graduates, especially American ones will have heard of all of them.

    I would say Columbia would be the next "biggest" in terms of name, but that does not really matter, they all have stellar reputations and employers etc will look more on the person than which elite school they attended.
