Most of the finance 'superstars' typically come out from Harvard or Wharton. |
I agree with PP. Columbia has always been a serious play producing grads who accomplish serious goals in life. Princeton, until very recently, has been an old boys club. Alumni kids coming from the right prep schools and then getting jobs from daddy's friends. |
Princeton has net been like that for forty years but continue the bitterness |

Columbia is USNews #2 for compelling reasons. US News follows, not lead, the consensus. Can you imagine US News ranking Harvard or Columbia outside T10? No one will buy US News. The consensus is Harvard - and Columbia - should be near the top. So, plenty of reasonable minds in the US think Columbia took its rightful place as #2.
So, why all the bickering in dCUM? DCUM is a DMV regional website. Virginia just elected Glen Younkin who ran against teaching CRT in virginal public schools. CRT is NOT taught in Virginia public schools. This election was all about racial pandering to racial fears. I suspect Columbia scares DMV people. Columbia was the only ivy that didn’t discriminate against Jews in 1930’s. It’s one of the most diverse ivies. In short, it’s not WASP. It’s not DMV. |
https://www.wsj.com/articles/college-rankings-list-2022-11632246093 I think WSJ is a better ranking |
WSJ is the consensus of WSJ readership. It’s behind the paywall. It’s the consensus of the few and far between, those few who are willing to pay for something that is free. It’s not the consensus of people like me and you. |
yes, because the first word that comes to mind when the subject of college rankings comes up on DCUM is "consensus". |
+1 First thing on DCUM’s mind is keeping up with the joneses. “Keeping up with the Joneses” = “consensus.” |
Specious arguments abound. Please cut out the political rhetoric and stick with relevant and current facts. What is the relevance of policies from 90 years ago on 2021 rankings? None. You seem to imply that if someone disputes Columbia's ranking then they are anti-Semitic, racist and/or alt-right. Just please stop with this crap. |
lol okay guy did you enjoy your time at columbia gs? |
Could someone paste this list and methodology into a post, or a public link if there is one for non-subscribers? |

Oh, you are gonna tell me the best man won in Virginia - that it’s not race politics, or politics period. Yongkin is the best possible politician for Virginia, the same way trump was the best man for the job when he ran for president. |
Brown over CalTech, Princeton. Duke over CalTech, Princeton. Seriously? |
Relevant and current facts is Columbia is #2. Try to keep up. |
