This is fabricated data. The true data would have HYPSM at the top 5. HYPSM confers a level of prestige that no other schools can match, and it opens every single possible door for its graduates.

Princeton is a lot nicer to live in than morning side heights, especially if you are an athlete.

Columbia students look like bug people — it’s weird.

Yes, if you are an athlete, Columbia is the only ivy with its line of outdoor sportswear and gear - Columbia Apparel, Outdoor Apparel & Products. How do you beat that?

In addition to that Columbia has its own broadcast network and record label. Who else can say that?

That’s amazing!!! Helps build school spirit. Wink.

Columbia is obviously the BEST

of the lower Ivys

You must have missed this post earlier in the thread:

Phrases people use that let me know they are unintelligent:

Anything racist
"I'm Just Saying"
"For All Intensive Purposes"
"I did my own research about vaccines"
"It is what it is"
"Snowflake", "Crotchfruit" or anything similar
"Lower Ivy"

I'm just saying....

Do NOT agree that using the descriptor "Lower Ivy" indicates lower intelligence given it refers to the reality that, in terms of prestige and ranking, some Ivy League institutions are stratified as "upper" while some are stratified as "lower".

Speaking of how Wall Street banks and and elite employers perceive these schools, which is the actual topic of this thread, here is a quote from a research article titled "Ivies, Extracurriculars, and Exclusion: Elite Employers' Use of Educational Credentials:" "Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, and University of Pennsylvania (general studies) were frequently described as 'second tier' schools that were filled primarily with candidates who 'didn’t get in' to a super-elite school."

The article surveyed many of the employers from these elite Wall Street firms, and this was the general consensus among them. In Wall Street, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, and Wharton are the Upper Ivies. The original data from this thread supports this too.

So you can call Columbia a lower ivy, and no one will stop you, but no one will believe your words either.

I'm pretty sure Columbia is a lower Ivy.

Lower Ivy still >>>> whatever school you went to, my dear

Yes, Columbia is a far better school that I attended but it is still a Lower Ivy (lower than HYP).

Lower than HYP and about the same as Penn

Not affiliated with either school but Columbia > Penn State. End of discussion.

Wharton > Columbia College / Penn A&S > Columbia Engineering > Penn State

I don't understand what criteria you used to compare liberal arts colleges, a business school and an engineering school. If you have some top-secret formula that allows you to objectively compare these three types of schools, share it with us!

Finally a truthteller! HYPSM is the Tom Brady (the G.O.A.T.) of schools.

Hi Duke booster! You can compare Penn with Duke but in terms of academics, Columbia’s on a whole different level. Just look at the Nobel prize count and you’ll see.
