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]

If you look at cross admit data between CalTech vs Harvard, it’s 16%:84%. People choose Harvard cuz its a cushier school.  You can buy your way into Harvard - but not CalTech.  No one in the right mind thinks Harvard is more rigorous than CalTech. Cross-admit data doesn’t mean what you think it means. [/quote]

Who brought up rigor?

And none of the kids who choose Harvard over Caltech "bought" their way in to either school.[/quote]

None?  Are you serial?  H wins in cross-admits cuz it gives away A’s like Halloween candy. People who faked their way into Harvard did very well once they got in. Think of the T.M.Landry scandal. [/quote]

Did you not read what I wrote?

No kid who chose Harvard over Caltech (implying they got into both Harvard and Caltech) bought their way into either school.[/quote]
