[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think for prestige, you need to take any ivy (including Cornell and Columbia) over Duke, Northwestern, and Hopkins.  I think had Duke not been a basketball power house, it would be where Vanderbilt ranks 15ish.  I think Georgetown, Tufts, etc. as academic institutions deserve to be a lot higher.  [/quote]

I think a lot of people disagree with you. I know outstanding students who are at Duke and didn't even consider Cornell. [/quote]

True, I browse Reddit occasionally for college info for my kid and I see lots of other people on there turning down schools like Princeton and Yale for Duke. It's a popular choice that gets great students. Even smaller schools like Pomona and Williams get some great students that people might not expect, there's an entire section of Reddit dedicated to where people were accepted and where they're attending called College Results. My DD might early decision to Duke or UPenn but neither school takes many kids from her HS.[/quote]
