[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened to HYPSM?[/quote]
Right lol. But I think Stanford and MIT students focus mainly on tech. [/quote]

More of a knock against Yale and Princeton. We all know that Stanford and MIT dominate tech, so we have an impression that HYP would be the top Wall Street feeders. But that doesn't seem to be the case.[/quote]

I mean, it is still the case.  Just because Yale and Princeton send fewer kids to finance than LOLChicago according to whatever metric this list used doesn't mean that they don't do well in terms of placement.

Does anyone in their right mind think that Columbia places better than Harvard?[/quote]

I mean... Columbia does place better than Harvard...[/quote]

Isn’t that what the Wall Street list shows?  It shows Columbia’s placement rate is stronger than Harvard’s. And in Silicon Valley, Harvard is a lesser school than Columbia. [/quote]

+1. Stop letting your HYPSM prestige obsession get in the way of acknowledging reality. A lot of schools, including Columbia, has a better engineering and CS school than Harvard, so it’s not even a surprise that they place better. [/quote]

Not a Harvard fan but nobody in their right mind would choose Columbia over Harvard. They might choose Yale, Stanford or MIT over Harvard but NOT Columbia.[/quote]

Parchment cross-admit data:

Harvard 69% — Yale 31%
Harvard 67% — Columbia Engineering 33%
Harvard 84% — Columbia 16%

Yes, it's undeniable that more people choose Yale over Harvard than Columbia, but the difference isn't as big as you make it seem to be. I guess almost 1/5 of cross-admits between Harvard and Columbia, and 1/3 for Columbia engineering, were not "in their right mind" when they made their decisions.[/quote]
