[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on major.  Dyson's prestige over WashU, huge.  Many on this board look down on Cornell contract colleges.  [/quote]
Many on this board look down on Cornell, period. Cornell is much closer to WashU than it is to Dartmouth or Brown.

Cornell is in the JHU, WashU, Rice, Chicago, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Vanderbilt tier. It is a decided step below all the other Ivies and WASP.

Replace JHU and Chicago with Emory and CMU then sure. JHU and Chicago are a stop above Cornell, closer to Brown. Dartmouth is also in the Cornell group. [/quote]
JHU and Chicago are drone schools that are relatively easy admits ED. JHU (WashU is its natural twin) is probably the most overrated private (as opposed to public) on US News. If you really believe it is a top 10 school, let’s just say you are not who you think you are.[/quote]
Nothing relatively easy about JHU and Chicago admits. Although Chicago is a bit easier than JHU. I'm a counselor at a DC private. [b]I would know much more than you.[/b] JHU rejects go to WashU. [/quote]

I sincerely doubt that you are a college counselor. In all my years in private schools, I have never encountered students who applied to both JHU and WashU. In fact, JHU is not popular at all with DC private students because it's known as a humorless, grind school. As a college counselor, you should know that. it is more likely that Ivy deferrals ED2 to WashU (so called "Princeton rejects")--and that's a good thing. WashU still gets the top students. [/quote]
Might be a college counselor: many tend to be idiots, after all. This one thinks there is “nothing relatively easy” about Chicago and JHU admits relative to Dartmouth and Brown. Please tell us who you are so we can get you fired.[/quote]
