MIT/Caltech if they're insistent on engineering.

Not paying full freight over 4 years for Northwestern. Sorry.

Okay. We'll take you off the list. Thanks for the heads-up.

Hey Charlie!

What?

Take 13:29 off the list for Northwestern.

(Leafs through thick log book) Got it! No Northwestern for 13:29!

Charlie: did you mean Northeastern?

The HYPS, Duke, UChicago log books are REALLY thick. Definitely worth the price.

? A lot of people. It’s a top school, I’d argue equal to or better than Yale at this point.

Equal or better than Yale?

Penn boosters out in full force, and as always, they're piping delusion.

I have no connection to either school. But I certainly regard Penn as a superior school to Yale. With Wharton, it has the preeminent undergraduate business program in the world. And Penn engineering is infinitely better than Yale engineering. I'm sure Yale is a very pleasant place to study art history, but it's not 1952 anymore. Yale has failed to adapt to a changing world. It's increasingly an anachronism.

My DC likes Yale but I worry that its admissions reward extreme left SJWs and at some point this will tank the school. I say this as a liberal.

You say it as an idiot.

There's a reason some people pour big money to get their kids into HPSM, Penn, Duke, Yale, etc. but taking out loans is a tough ask.

Ivies except Cornell and MIT+Stanford.

It’s really just HYPSM Wharton and maybe Columbia

Or is it just Stanford in the 2020s?
With real estate, Stanford has a larger total endowment than Harvard by over $2 billion and has been even more selective. It is a little crazy that "just Harvard" may not be a thing anymore.

Wow, only 6 schools have assets of $30B or more and they're all in the US: Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, and Duke. I'd be curious why Oxford and Cambridge, which have been around for longer, don't have comparable asset bases.

Actually even a $50Billion endowment at 4% operating cess would be $2Billion in funding per year. If countries have proper public university funding then the national government can easily fund institutions to the local PPP equivalent of $2B / yr. If you look at that type of funding level there are many top-level national universities around the world that would have operating budgets larger than the top US Ivies and Ivy-equivslents.

Duke does not have an endowment of $30 billion, lmao.

Duke boosters are insane.

Hey Troll,

Why Brown/Northwestern over Penn?

I'll be completely frank. Outside of Wharton, Penn's name value is basically nil. Many people confuse it with Penn State. The campus culture, I've heard from multiple sources, is toxic. Just not my thing, but no disrespect to those who choose to attend (or pay full freight for their DC).

I disagree. I have a DC at Penn engineering and the internship opportunities have been fabulous. Career services is wonderful at Penn. I have an older DC who graduated from Stanford and Penn opens just as many career doors as Stanford does with better support for getting through the door. The only benefit I’ll give Stanford over Penn is the ability to get VC money if you have an interest in starting a company.
