So is there a Harvard bump -- sure but not a signficant one. Two they know nothing because they are too far removed. Three views on higher education outside the US are off.


It matters for people who have links abroad, whether that's family, friends, work, etc. Many many international students in the U.S. for whom this information is pertinent.


It is not relevant to them.

This +1000. NYU and Northwestern are not considered prestigious.


Don't know what you're smoking. Northwestern is prestigious, full stop. NYU is prestigious to an extent as well.


Yes, but Northeastern is famous for gaming the system.


NorthWESTERN, not NEU, which has no business in this conversation. Stop trolling please.


Northwestern, Northeastern - what's the difference?


Nothing much


Stanford, Samford - what's the difference?

“ Rishi Sunak, the chancellor, said: “This new visa offer means that the UK can continue to attract the best and brightest from across the globe. The route means that the UK will grow as a leading international hub for innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship.

“We want the businesses of tomorrow to be built here today, which is why I call on students to take advantage of this incredible opportunity to forge their careers here.”

Priti Patel, the home secretary, said: “I am proud to be launching this new and exciting route as part of our points-based immigration system which puts ability and talent first, not where someone comes from.”

I guess international prestige doesn't involve being ranked highly as an undergraduate school at USNWR.


They're welcome to have as many U of Washington, NYU, NU graduates etc as they would like. This program will die a natural death.

One of the schools you called out is not like the others.

Also, what a stupidly pretentious thing to say.
