[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard, Yale & Princeton are no doubt the top ivys to the rest of the world & to the people who went there themselves.  I say this having gone to one of the 'lesser ivys' - and have seen the trajectories of the relative privileges granted to the graduates of both tiers.[/quote]

But Columbia is not a lesser ivy in a sense of Cornell, brown and Dartmouth. It's kind of in the middle. And then, Yale is not Harvard, and even Princeton is not Harvard. And Columbia is the only one in the world class city, probably the most important, iconic city in the world at the moment. Hence, the dilemma.[/quote]

There shouldn't be a dilemma. You go to college for opportunity, not for a nice city. Yale and Harvard are YALE and HARVARD. And you don't turn that down. Columbia is a great school, and maybe there could be a great debate about the pros and cons for Columbia v. Princeton or Stanford or other top U.S. News school, but against Yale? Game, set, match. The tennis team is probably better at Yale, too. ;)[/quote]
