[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard unless a kid had a passion for nyc, wanted theater, music, museums, or finance opportunities.[/quote]

This. I knew Columbia and Barnard students who were actors and chose New York. Some had internships at financial institutions. Some were Ford models. Otherwise I’d choose Harvard. [/quote]

This.   Columbia is the go to school for kids who are already professionals. The one kicker is that I knew several kids who weren’t professional but became so by attending Columbia and trying out and succeeding or, much more often, by befriending kids who were already professional. In the immortal words of Woody Allen, “80% of success is just showing up.”[/quote]

New York is the place for this. My mixed race son has exotic good looks and had a great little kid modeling career in NYC until we moved to D.C.  We left NYC before he was old enough for TV or Broadway opportunities. DS is now in an elite boarding school in Western Massachusetts and plans to apply early decision to Columbia. [/quote]
