[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]

I live in California now and you’re wrong, Duke and Columbia are both very desirable at top high schools here. HPSM are not the only schools people are looking at because they know odds are pretty low they’ll snag one.[/quote]

Who the hell compares Duke with Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford?  Let's just say many students write off southern schools - no matter how good they are. At best, they are niche schools, such as GeorgiaT, Rice for STEM, Duke for sports, Emory for I don't know what... These schools are a step or two below Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford... [/quote]

If you're going to troll, at least put effort or it's a complete waste of your time. "Duke for sports" c'mon now. Columbia and Duke are at the same level, HPSM still a notch above but many top kids are going to opt for Columbia or Duke for a variety of reasons.[/quote]
