[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, you naive little thing.

Every Ivy could fill up their freshman class a hundred times over with hungry applicants from all over the world, if all their current students quit over their supposed "bad press".

No, it's not going to change anything for your precious snowflake's application.[/quote]

I disagree.

Applications were down 17 percent at Harvard this year. And that was before all the issues. They will take another hit next year.

Yale has been on the decline for some time. Very progressive. Abusive students. No meaningful STEM, comparatively.

MIT, Stanford, and Princeton are what's what for the very top.

There are a lot of schools who could fill their classes many times over. UCLA gets more than a 100,000 apps. BU gets more than 60,000.

But in general, Ivy League is not what it was. MIT, Stanford, Vanderbilt, Duke, Northwestern, Rice, Chicago, Carnegie Mellon, not to mention publics like Michigan and Berkeley.

People don't really give a damn about Harvard anymore. Particularly not young people.[/quote]

I think you are largely right.  Yale was already a bit out there, and Harvard is now eating itself alive.  MIT, Stanford, and Princeton seem to be relatively unscathed in comparison, and kids are realizing there are a lot of other great options where you can avoid getting sucked into the political infighting.
