Right lol. But I think Stanford and MIT students focus mainly on tech.

More of a knock against Yale and Princeton. We all know that Stanford and MIT dominate tech, so we have an impression that HYP would be the top Wall Street feeders. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

I mean, it is still the case. Just because Yale and Princeton send fewer kids to finance than LOLChicago according to whatever metric this list used doesn't mean that they don't do well in terms of placement.

Does anyone in their right mind think that Columbia places better than Harvard?

I mean... Columbia does place better than Harvard...

Isn’t that what the Wall Street list shows? It shows Columbia’s placement rate is stronger than Harvard’s. And in Silicon Valley, Harvard is a lesser school than Columbia.

+1. Stop letting your HYPSM prestige obsession get in the way of acknowledging reality. A lot of schools, including Columbia, has a better engineering and CS school than Harvard, so it’s not even a surprise that they place better.

Not a Harvard fan but nobody in their right mind would choose Columbia over Harvard. They might choose Yale, Stanford or MIT over Harvard but NOT Columbia.

If you look at cross admit data between CalTech vs Harvard, it’s 16%:84%. People choose Harvard cuz its a cushier school. You can buy your way into Harvard - but not CalTech. No one in the right mind thinks Harvard is more rigorous than CalTech. Cross-admit data doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Who brought up rigor?

And none of the kids who choose Harvard over Caltech "bought" their way in to either school.

None? Are you serial? H wins in cross-admits cuz it gives away A’s like Halloween candy. People who faked their way into Harvard did very well once they got in. Think of the T.M.Landry scandal.

There are tons of Columbia rejects (3.7% admit rate). Judging by the quality of their comments, their kids never made it - not at Columbia - and not at Harvard.

The hyp obsession on DCUM is really bizzare, especially from a group of people with no ties to any of those institutions and who mostly went to schools like UVA and second-tier LACs and only use the acronym to bash other schools. Keep crying!

Let me understand YOUR LOGIC. If you believe that HYPSM are the top tier of institutions then you went to UVA.
I did not attend UVA (and if I did I would be proud of that fact.)
If I went to Columbia I would be proud as well but more so if I could attend HYPSM. Further, HYPSM could open more doors.

DP, it’s been proven again and again in this forum that Columbia opens just as many doors as HYPSM, and often more so than some of the five schools. Columbia has better placement than at least one HYPSM school in Wall Street, Silicon Valley, law school admissions, and more. Similar statements can be said for other top schools as well; HYPSM is not top 5 for “opening doors.” What makes you think that all of these employers and grad school admissions offices even acknowledge the HYPSM acronym and believe in its legitimacy? I think we can all agree that the only place where this acronym exists is DCUM and collegeconfidential.

If you believe HYPSM is the top tier, then u went to uva.
PP believes HYPSM is top tier.
Ergo, PP went to UVA.

It’s simple logic. It’s when people engage in fuzzy logic, you can tell the quality of these people.

It’s not as if these people with the HYPSM fetish have kids who go there.

Considering both schools have acceptance rates at 5% or lower, half of Columbia’s class is ED and couldn’t have applied to Harvard and Harvard’s 80% yield, the fact that you not only know several kids who were accepted to both but also chose Columbia over Harvard is interesting.

If you went to one of those schools you don’t give a crap because you aren’t that insecure about it.

"Columbia is a liberal, disgraceful institution.”

— Donald J Trump.

Columbia was the only ivy that didn’t discriminate against Jews in 1930’s. If you are to the right, you are not gonna like Columbia. Go ahead, have your kids apply to HYP. It’s all about fit.

"I learned a lot at Columbia, found my focus, studied and came out with a determination to do something about the injustices I had seen and read about.”

— Barack Obama


If Columbia is good enough for Obama, it’s good enough for me.

Not a Harvard fan but nobody in their right mind would choose Columbia over Harvard. They might choose Yale, Stanford or MIT over Harvard but NOT Columbia.

Plenty of people in their right minds might choose C over H for a variety of different reasons.

Finance placement, however, should never be one of them. A strong, motivated student will have far more first-job finance options coming from Harvard than any other school (except arguably Wharton).

Have you seen the placement rate that shows C tops H in Wall Street placement? Your need to improve your English comprehension.

The fact that Columbia sends more kids to IB programs or whatever methodology they use (I'm too lazy to read the article linked in OP) is irrelevant.

If a Harvard grad wants to go into finance, he or she will have more and better options than a similar Columbia grad.

This explains everything lol.
