[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was talking to some old college friends who are now in the Bay Area and they’re on another level it seems. Many of them are pushing their kids pretty hard to get [b]Harvard, Stanford, Duke, Columbia, etc.[/b] Just goes to show it’s all relative[/quote]

Troll.

No one outside the DMV area considers Duke in this group.  Bay area people don't. [/quote]

Wrong - They have started to pay attention to increase their odds of a T10 admission. Same for Vandy.[/quote]

Duke and Vandy are not considered anywhere near HYPSM by most in the Bay Area, and below Berkeley and Cornell. Duke/Vandy CS and engineering are not considered to be in the same league as Berkeley and Cornell, for example. [/quote]
Considered better in the South. Vandy is acceptable; Harvard is "that's weird, do they have social skills?" Better off at 'Bama, Ole Miss, Vandy, Duke, UNC, Georgia, Clemson.[/quote]

People who go to Harvard don't go back to the South. [/quote]
