Honestly, I'm speechless. Several popular kids who are in the bottom fifth of my DC's Big 3 hope to go there. It's a very preppy school filled with extremely attractive upper middle class kids but to put it in the same sentence as Rice, Vanderbilt, Gtown is insane. it's basically an extension of a waspy boarding school - the equivilent of what Dennison and Trinity were back in the 90s, neither which for whatever reason continued on the trajectory. No one outside of Bucknell is talking about the impact of the grads in NYC (outside of getting into WASPY clubs).

This Bucknell is closer to BYU with nyc placement. It's there but only for the "right" few.

Since when does Rice place in finance?

Maybe, but I know which schools are drunk.

My daughter from NoVa had a wonderful experience at Bucknell with great internships, although not in business. Classes were demanding, small class sizes, smart kids. My kid at top of class in FCPS, not a partier, found her group easily. Excellent alumni connections.

That being said, most colleges have something for everyone. It’s not a life or death decision.

Off topic but how does Washington and Lee place in NYC/Boston in bulge bracket firms or MBB?

Well, it’s going to be embarrassing when they don’t get in, then, isn’t it.

Both are terrific schools. Tulane is objectively a “better” school in terms of prestige and ranking. I also think more people away from the 95 corridor have heard of Tulane. I think it really depends on the experience the student wants. What other schools did they apply to NESCACS? Go to bucknell. BU/NYU/Emory? Go to Tulane.
