[quote=Anonymous]Wild take: with an incredible 65% endowment gain, WashU is well positioned to surpass most Ivies and T15s in no time.

Now it sits on a massive $15 billion warchest and newly gained national and global renown to steal Nobel-winning professors from hypsm and poorer, less well-endowed schools like columbia, duke, and chicago, berkeley, and even caltech, where the students are truly suffering from the workload and LA's pollution.

WashU's pristine campus and upper-class student body will be a massive draw to top-notch applicants from all over the world.

It will be a T10 in 3-5 years with schools like Duke and Penn decline in prestige and fall outside the T10 across all rankings. I expect WashU to become a T5 school in 10 years' time, especially with the resurgence of St. Louis as the next great American city, and take Yale's place so it becomes HWP.

Why? Yale is a massively overrated school like Chicago with an incredibly weak STEM program, a lackluster business school, and an average medical school. Not to mention Princeton without any professional schools... Stanford has too many athletes and soon there will be a second dot com boom, trashing the silicon valley and its reputation, along with MIT. Meanwhile, Penn and Columbia are at best middling ivies and Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth are barely on the level of HYP, or WashU in 10 years' time.

JHU is just another WashU wannabe but lacks the elite flair and laid-back vibes, not to mention Northwestern and Chicago, both of which are located in a declining city where the population is fleeing in droves. Other T15s like Vandy and Rice are no match for WashU's endowment and reputation.

Go Bears!  [/quote]
