[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally agree but not much change

1. T20ish/T25ish schools will do fine

2. Next tier private schools in good locations like NYU, USC, Northeastern will continue to rise.
(USC and NYU are already like T25ish schools)

3. Not all but many state flagships will do fine

4. Top 5 or so SLACs will do fine

Agree.  The Ivies are going nowhere.  The world's population is only increasing.  By inertia the top colleges retain being the top colleges .  State flagships in states that invest money in higher education will do well.  So UVA will be even more elite.  West Virginia, not so much. The non-ivy privates that are selective today will only be more selective in the future. The Ivies aren't growing their enrollment so these indistinguishably stellar students have to go somewhere.  Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, Duke, UChicago, etc.  The next tier down will get the students pushed out of these types of schools...NYU, NEU, Tulane, Emory, UMiami, Wake Forest  This is pretty much what has happened over the past twenty years anyways.

I was reading here about Pitt, and what a good value proposition that it was as a "safety".  It isn't that large of a school, but that type of school can either vault up or trend down depending on how "prestigious" it is perceived.  UMD is in a much better position, maybe because of its computer science department.

The SLACs who are on top will stay on top.  There are just so many spaces in these schools. The lower tier small privates I think are going to suffer because of the humanity focus.  But who knows.
