[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prediction:  [b]Penn, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell and maybe Columbia[/b] will outperform Harvard, Yale and Princeton over the next 20 years on many metrics but especially career outcomes because they have quietly attracted much stronger students who in prior decades would have gone to HYP.  The main culprit is legacy in much higher proportions at HYP but also the de facto “penalty for being an Asian applicant is much less at Penn, Brown and Cornell.  The lower applications at SCEA at Harvard this year are the canary in the coal mine.  3rd generation “Blair” at HYP can no longer be “placed” at Morgan Stanley because his Econ degree which is math light in the modern era doesn’t bring much.

LOL - as if [b]these schools [/b]have not also been giving legacy bumps. Get real.[/quote]

+100. Brown only went need-blind in like 2002. The legacy, celebrity, and rich-donor bump remains in full effect there. And they love rich kid sports too - my roommate there was a white girl recruited from a prep school to play water polo. She played our freshman year and then quit - box checked![/quote]
