[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I have no relationship to WashU but with anyone with familiarity with colleges, it is regarded as a top school filled with bright students. For people unfamilar with colleges, or over ..say 60 years old on either coast ... they may be unware of the school almost completely.[/quote]

In terms of prestige, a comparison could be made to a top SLAC. Many uninformed people are clueless when it comes to Williams, Amherst etc but that doesn’t mean they are not prestigious. [/quote]
You must be the peers & ties dude and it kills you to see anyone not idolize wash. So you come back with a comparison that matters to absolutely no one. Consensus of this thread is that wash prestige is a big step down from the Cornell, Dartmouth and Brown. A good school for smart kids still. [/quote]

NP - you seem to have a fixed mindset. Are you the same poster who keeps posting over and over “STL is gross”? I don’t attend but I believe its prestige (which you seem to so slavishly care about) is on par with the non HYP Ivies.[/quote]
Aww, you're confused. I don't care about prestige at all and I never commented on St Louis. But I do find the wash/cmu tie ranking interesting and suspect both are good for smart kids and similar gritty down-to-earth metropolitan areas.[/quote]

Too much seems to be made of St. Louis. The school is adjacent to St Louis in the fancier area but is kind of a bubble. There is nothing gritty at all about the WashU campus. Might be one of the most pristine, manicured college environments I have ever seen. [/quote]

When the only thing within hours of driving is an apocalyptic crime scene of a city, it definitely matters.[/quote]

Oh….you’ve never been there.

[/quote]

I have and I wish I could erase it from my memories.[/quote]

You sound very bitter, should get out some more[/quote]

I travel frequently.  You have no idea what you are talking about.[/quote]
