[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Princeton Review did a massive survey around the country of parents’ dream schools for their kids:

1. MIT
2. Princeton
3. Harvard
4. Stanford
5. Duke
6. UMich
7. Yale
8. NYU
9. Cornell
10. Brown

How does this compare to the thoughts in your households?[/quote]

Yes to all except UMich, NYU, and Cornell. Surprised no Columbia![/quote]

Not surprised by Columbia.

Least appealing Ivy to us + would choose another 8-10 T20 schools over it.[/quote]

This was a US survey - if you start polling international Columbia would shoot up into the top 10, probably right behind Duke[/quote]

+1 New York is a major draw for internationals[/quote]

It’s also a major draw for domestic people too! Doesn’t explain why Columbia misses in the top 10.[/quote]

It’s a big country. There are lots of people who don’t worship NYC, & even if they think it’s an ok place to visit, that doesn’t necessarily translate into it being a place they would want to live or go to college. The high prices, difficult housing market, rising crime, constant distractions, & nasty people don’t exactly combine to make it an ideal setting to focus on one’s studies—to many people. I’m sure some people will disagree. [/quote]
