I would counter that if you've got money, connections, fame, title and/or big donations, NYU is an excellent choice for your good for nothing scion.

Cornell and NYU are highly selective, but I can see where PP was going with this. They are a bit easier to get into than their super elite (among lay people) reputation suggests.

That said, please do take a stab at it. Assuming a strong student (but not top ten percenter in grades or SATs) and well rounded extracurriculars (but not a recruitable athlete or a phenom in any one thing), and no hooks, what are some of the "brand name" schools one might take a look at.

You could have stopped with "got money." If you're full pay and seem serious about attending, you'll be admitted to NYU.

See, to me it is sad that you are asking about "brand name." Not quality of education, student experience...BRAND NAME.

Such a sad statement about what drives your decisions, and the fact that you care more about what others think than what is best for YOUR individual child.

Arizona State is famous for having the most favorable “easy to get into but still sounds vaguely respectable to average Joe” ratio.

Arizona State is now basically open enrollment. They have vast numbers enrolled online and have a partnership with Starbucks to enroll their employees. I figure its only a matter of time before their stats and reputation tank.

Out of state + no financial aid really opens things up in the 15-50 range.

Can you suggest some names? Prefer private not state. We are snobby like that.

Yeah, it really opens things up if you are URM, legacy or recruited athlete and have a 30ACT and a 3.4 UW. For the unhooked masses it is still a glorified lottery.....but you have to have a 33ACT and a 3.8 UW.
