[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ overall has the highest I y acceptance rate.  But that still means only 4-5 at most to Harvard. There are 7 other Ivies and several other tech schools [/quote]

Harvard has been surpassed by Stanford and will be surpassed by few other schools in the next 5 to 10 years by schools such as Princeton, MIT, Cal etc. Harvard is living in the past and the world is passing by Harvard. Harvard's STEM programs are not well regarded and even [b]IB and other finance positions increasingly prefer STEM skills/training. [/b]  [/quote]

Clueless post.  Since when is the quality of any school determined by what IB banks and finance positions are looking for?   That's with wrong with how too many lemmings approach college around here. [/quote]

Let's be honest here. Why is Stanford so popular? Why is Stanford beating Harvard in selectivity, yield rate, cross yield rate?, popularity etc.? It's not only because of nice weather. It's primarily because Stanford has great reputation in both STEM and humanities and it's located near SV. Even Harvard MBAs are choosing in great numbers to go to SV startups rather than Wall Street etc. Some well known Hedge funds only recruit students with Ph.Ds in STEM not MBAs.

Harvard hopes to send its grads off to Wall Street and IB to make the big bucks and donate millions back but that will change in the future. Harvard might still produce CEOs and politicians but that will change as well albeit more gradually. Look at the new CEOs of Microsoft, Google etc. Even Gates and Zuckerman were tech geeks who had other non-stem interests and they would probably choose Stanford if they were applying to colleges now.

Stanford and CalTech are more popular because there are tons of west coasters and not as many high end institutions as the east coast.  Not everyone wants to make the trek across the continent (in both directions). [/quote]
