[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You couldn’t pay me enough for me to send my kids to Columbia these days.  [/quote]

I agree. I would definitely choose Duke over Columbia these days. [/quote]

And I suspect a majority of 18 years would make the same choice today. Columbia has always seemed like a stressful place that catered to a small group of students that really wanted to live in NY City. But after the past couple of years, I think the pool of students that want to go to Columbia has shrunk dramatically. No 18 year old wants all the noise and stress and the constant feeling of walking on eggshells that comes with the Columbia experience today. Duke seems infinitely more appealing to the vast majority of smart kids. [/quote]

it’s like the same idiot duke booster posting same as 3 different identities.

go to any elite private (andover, exeter, st. albans etc). ALL send far more to columbia than duke for a reason.

Duke’s yield (even with DI scholarships and random scholarships like carolina scholars) is shit compared to Columbia and will remain so[/quote]

Let’s see what expert parchment analysis has to say:

https://www.parchment.com/c/college/tools/college-cross-admit-comparison.php?compare=Duke+University&with=Columbia+University+in+the+City+of+New+York

Columbia 67%

Duke       33%

😁

Are you pretending the protests didn’t happen?  Columbia’s rep is in the toilet.[/quote]
