I had not heard much about it until oldest dc started looking for schools. Loved the campus, the people we met. Didn't know until more recently that they are on less sound footing than some other schools.
In end, DC elected not to apply to any CA schools. |

I don’t think it was recently because every few months someone posts about how Occidental is supposedly in dire financial straits but the only “evidence” for it is some article from when the pandemic first sent all the kids home from school and someone said “this will have an impact on us”. I guess them and every other school. If you check the Forbes financial health grades you can see Occidental gets an A-. I have no connection to the school except my kid looked at it (didn’t end up applying) but the trolling bugs me. |

Harvard.
It's still way up there, but where I think it used to be regarded as the top, now I think it's neck-and-neck or maybe even a little below Yale, Stanford, and MIT. |

| I agree, Harvard is no longer "Harvard". Still good but slipping. |

Harvard law is now #4. What a fall from the days of Paper Chase. |
