Many on this board look down on Cornell, period. Cornell is much closer to WashU than it is to Dartmouth or Brown.

Cornell is in the JHU, WashU, Rice, Chicago, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Vanderbilt tier. It is a decided step below all the other Ivies and WASP.

Replace JHU and Chicago with Emory and CMU then sure. JHU and Chicago are a stop above Cornell, closer to Brown. Dartmouth is also in the Cornell group.

WashU is a great school. But, Missouri. In terms of prestige it would be Cornell bc of Dyson business, their engineering program, and its overall strength. Brown and Dartmouth are great schools too. I’m sure there are some older moms that value the Ivy stamp over all else, but these days their prestige is no better and no worse than Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Rice, or Chicago. All good schools.

It's the tiers and peers dude. Here to set the record straight for all of mankind.

No, not all of mankind: there’s a societal elite and Cornell students are not a part of it — nor will they ever be. Post away, but Cornell gets a snicker in many circles for a reason. Incidentally, Georgetown doesn’t…

JHU and Chicago are drone schools that are relatively easy admits ED. JHU (WashU is its natural twin) is probably the most overrated private (as opposed to public) on US News. If you really believe it is a top 10 school, let’s just say you are not who you think you are.

Nobody believes you.

I have one kid in Ivy and one in WashU. Both receiving excellent, first rate education.

Right now Wash U is worthless.

And dangerous for any student given the laws in MO.

It is only going to get worse.

Sending a kid there now makes zero financial sense as well. They will not be getting a job or accepted to med school.

But do you love them equally?

I usually would not believe a statement like this, but it does very much sound like someone who graduated from Cornell: point proven.

Good question....I have to think about this one.
