[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree with PP about the impact on Asians, generally in our community they still aim for the same schools regardless of year-to-year shifts. Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Penn, Duke, Columbia, are the ones I see are very popular and highly desirable amongst Asians in our area.[/quote]

HYPSM, yes. Duke and Wharton, too. Not Columbia. Asians have always seen it Columbia as a fake, a backup school for stidents who couldn't get into actual elite schools. They are even more skeptical now that Columbia has been caught faking all its numbers. [/quote]

Which Asian group do you belong?  I know Korean, Chinese, and Japanese communities treate Columbia just below HYP, above Penn, absolutely above Duke. [/quote]

There is no one who is picking duke over Columbia unless it's for basketball.[/quote]

Maybe true three years ago but Columbia has has a rough couple of years.[/quote]

That does not make Duke above Columbia.  Harvard also has been rough for the last couple years, but it is still number 1, above Princeton, no matter what US news says.[/quote]
