[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Washinton U, Vandy, Rice, Emory and Notre Dame will slide several places.[/quote]

What would be the replacements?

Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, USC[/quote]

This is utterly delusional... USC, Umich?![/quote]

You may be basing your comment on outdated information. That was probably a fair assessment in the 80s, but not today. Both are highly selective, academic powerhouses that attract top students. We're talking sub 10% admissions rates and applicants from the top local high schools (many of whom are rejected).

In my industry (investment banking/technology), USC is a major recruiting stop, second only to Stanford. UCLA is also very strong, but in our niche, a private undergrad degree still carries more cache. The access to opportunities, programs, top notch professors, and an unbelievably loyal alumni network at USC is impressive. Add the upcoming Big 10 infusion of cash - some say $75-100MM per year - and you've got a rocket ship.

Although I know less about Michigan, in our industry it is also considered strong in the engineering and business programs.

The perception and reality of schools evolve over time. In 2022, undergrads are more worldly than ever before. The notion of spending 4 years in a Red State like Texas, Tennessee or Indiana vs. living in a metropolitan area is a non-starter for many. For that reason alone, the CA schools will continue to rise.  YMMV

USC's admit rate is 12%, Umich's is 22%.  And didn't USC fall in the rankings this year? 100million a year is really nothing in the grand scheme of things. Vandy, Emory, WashU, and ND aren't going anywhere trust me. These red states/schools used to have segregation and refused to allow POC students, they were still elite then. This won't change being you can't have an abortion after 6 weeks.[/quote]
