Most prestigious are the schools that my kids go to!

Can’t answer posts that use the word “bonus” in relation to certain answers. Sorry!

Not looking for a lecture on fit or prestige. People can be curious about different things.

I would rank them as follows:

University of British Columbia
Penn State
University of Illinois at Chicago
Duquesne
Northwestern Louisiana

But what do I know.

+1 Penn State - the alumni connections alone put it in the upper echelon from a prestige perspective -

Agree, Penn

Nope, just Wharton. Everyone else at Penn is pissed they aren't at Wharton and it makes for a miserable experience

Columbia, then Penn

It always amuses me when a post is pages of sarcasm, and then someone comes in late with their honest opinion.

Maybe it's the school that has the top major quant firms sponsoring your poker club (non Wharton).

Hopkins perceived as too grindy so most top kids don't apply, very self selecting pool. Duke is the fun/popular school of choice for many, but not necessarily viewed as top for academically prestigious, although i think it is.
