Totally disagree. I know that WashU is ranked higher but I don't know anyone who is actually impressed by it. Middle America has no idea what it is ("is it in Washington?") and those at your elite dinner party 1000% view it as a place that kids attend who don't get into Ivies ED1. BC has a tight alumni network, a Catholic identity, a location near a desirable city, etc.

I have zero connections to either for what it's worth but I live in upper NW DC, have kids in private, grew up in Manhattan.

If you plan on having a good career then you shouldn’t care whether your plumber or gas pumper knows about WUSTL. His knowledge of BC will be from basketball.

BC students overwhelmingly couldn’t get into any Ivy, whereas WUSTL is on par with Cornell.

Apparently they don’t study irony at WU.

I'm not talking about the plumber or gas pumper but many professional class people have no knowledge about WashU. I know you're shocked that anyone could be so ill informed but not everyone is DCUM crazy about colleges.

It’s not the worst thing in the world, but WU grads will spend a significant amount of time in their lives explaining to people just what & where WU is.

They are comparable in terms of difficulty to obtain admission. WUSTL’s business school is more difficult than several of Cornell’s colleges. BC admission is not comparable to Cornell. What part of what I just said is incorrect?

Not at a decent financial institution employer or country club. It’s a handy tool to filter people out, if they don’t know WUSTL you probably don’t want to know them because they’re unworldly and uneducated.

Aww, there you are. The prolific BC basher is a little slow on responding but expect lots of umbrage about TIERS and "jokes" at how deranged anyone would be to choose BC and that anyone who goes there must not want a career or "what is Chestnut Hill"? He's nothing if not incessant and predictable.

Oh, and he tries to provoke pps with stawman arguments. And when no one takes the bait, he makes up more sh$t-posting.

This is just ridiculous. I grew up in Manhattan to Ivy-educated parents (Columbia) and I never heard of WashU until my husband was applying to medical residencies and interviewed there. Now it's on my radar for only the second time in 30 years as my own kid is applying to college. I talked to my parents and extended family about it over the winter holidays and no one knew ANYTHING about it and couldn't place it as a top10 school or a top50 school. We hardly fell off the turnip truck yesterday--we are highly paid professionals and although I don't live in the "country club" world, several of my extended family members do.

Most of America does not live life with the Princeton Review guide in their chest pocket.

That’s not a straw man argument. Someone said WUSTL isn’t comparable to getting into Cornell.

So you heard of WUSTL when looking into medical school and when your child is researching selective colleges.

Also Columbia was a commuter school when your parents graduated. It is now reverting to its old reputation.

You should choose BC over Assumption. You shouldn’t choose BC over WUSTL business school.

Oh, ok, let's talk about Columbia now (his year another tactic for overtaking the thread)
