Resorting to that?!, you lost.

Cornell, Vandy, Brown and Columbia are definitely hot. Don't know where all this Emory boosterism is coming from, though.

Apps for Cornell are down, y'all lie on here a lot. Emory and Notre Dame had the highest increase in early apps this year within the top 25. 20 and 13 percent increases. Emory doesn't need boosterism... Whatever that means.

That means little by itself. It's probably very selective.

The PP you’re replying to is not even right. Apps to Cornell are up. They’re lying out of their butt.

Same. I can’t believe Emory would resort to such practices. Same with UC Berkeley, apparently. Deeply embarrassing and shameful.

NP. Literally every single child I know from this area that chooses Elon is learning disabled in some way. Not severely, but ADHD and others that prevented admission into other schools. I think it's great as an option for those kids, and it's quite possible one of mine may attend there, but it is not a strong academic school, at all. I am very close to two graduates and their and their classmates outcomes and options upon graduation were so limited, that it really makes me question the value of the school. It really lacks diversity and is full of underwhelming students of wealthy parents. They decline many many students who they know will not likely attend because they applied as a safety, in order to try to maintain a sub-80% acceptance rate. That in and of itself is a real turnoff. The up and coming schools that aren't gaming the system that way: Indiana and Pitt.

Total troll post. Most of the top privates in the dc area send one or two to Elon each year and not a single one that I know that has gone there has a learning disability. It’s a great school and the students there are quite happy. If you don’t like it, that’s fine, but that’s no reason to make up nonsense like this post.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

NP. Actually, there's some truth there, plus a 70% acceptance rate.

The “NP.” You put at the beginning of each of your posts just let’s everyone know you’re sock puppeting.

If they aren’t a troll then it makes no sense that they would send their kid there since they think so little of the school

Elite city schools like Columbia and Penn have been on an upward trajectory for a while, and I'd put Northwestern and JHU in that category as well, even though JHU's rise in popularity was more recent owing its role in the COVID-19 crisis. One of the PPs was right in pointing out that the UChicago hype sort of hit a plateau and the recent string of murders and surge in crime in Chicago definitely don't look good on the school's reputation as a whole.

Agree with all these schools being on the rise. Do we think Columbia will ever ascend to HYP status in the public consciousness? It's already so presetigious and is clearly firing on all cylinders. Stellar undergrad and grad programs, amazing locale in NYC, cachet...

Pitt seems to be super hot with record applications. In another thread two people from PA said Temple has become more popular than Penn State. In this thread someone mentioned that gen Z is liking the city options and this may be true.

PP here. I went to school in NC and have a lot of family living there, and that was my only post on this thread.

Agree with Uchicago, but what was JHUs impact with Covid 19?

Cornell, Vandy, Brown and Columbia are definitely hot. Don't know where all this Emory boosterism is coming from, though.

I personally think Cornell is stagnant but someone said Emory was stagnant ( it isn't but whatever). If that's the case then Cornell is declining. Going from 11 to 17 in the rankings is certainly a steep decline.

Two very popular schools at my DC’s high school are UVM a and UMass-Amherst. I don’t know if the schools have changed or they have just become more popular.
