[quote=Anonymous]19:13 here again. Now I notice the Group A and Group B lists, and it's true I didn't answer. Here's another vote for Group C, because you'll never get useful results by polling DC residents who participate in a private school forum, in terms of anything that could be generalized to a broader population. Here are some of the problems with this poll:

1. How many of us live in California and get in-state tuition for all of the schools in Group A except BU?
2. How many of us live outside California but are concerned enough about tuition to think that out-of-state tuition at some pretty good UC schools is more affordable than the Ivies in Group B?
3. How many of us want to study engineering, which  could be done at many of the schools in Group A but, to my knowledge, in Group B only at Columbia's SEAS (i.e. not even in the general liberal arts school of Columbia). Or architecture, which I believe you can major in in a few places in Group B (although not at Harvard or Cooper Union or Brown) while many of the schools in Group A have separate architecture schools.

I'm sure there's more, but I need to move on. Hey, if you guys want to go ahead and think your admissions ratio stat is dispositive, go for it! Be my guest, absolutely. Just know that there are a few of us out here who think you're way off base.[/quote]
