Why did you select these institutions in particular?

Carnegie Mellon University University of California, Berkeley Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cornell University Princeton University Stanford University California Institute of Technology Harvard University Yale University Dartmouth College Brown University Duke University

…and which ones will be added soon?

Founders are CMU students; presumably the rest of the schools on the list are various name-brand private schools (plus Berkeley). Texas (and Illinois, Michigan, etc.) are notably missing from this first round list; that's the founders' loss.
Yeah it is a weird list. Dartmouth, Brown, and Duke? Good programs, but definitely below a number of public schools (Washington, Michigan, UW-Madison, UT-Austin, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UIUC, and probably others that aren't coming to mind right away).
Wow; that’s a little gross if you ask me.
