[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BC is as prestigious as BU.[/quote]

BU isn't prestigious, just exorbitantly overpriced.[/quote]

BU is the exact opposite of prestigious.  Northeastern has eclipsed it as the large private uni for dummies in Boston. [/quote]

I normally get upset about mean-spirited posts, but this one made me laugh out loud. Kind of agree. Would not be thrilled with my kids going to BU or northeastern. (Esp Northeastern)

I'd definitely encourage them to apply to Georgetown, Emory, and BC.
[b]I think of those three, Georgetown is the most prestigious. I think it is just below HYPS/MIT/Caltech and somewhere around Penn, Dartmouth.[/b]
Next I would say Emory, which I think is better than Vanderbilt and worse than Duke. Maybe on par with UNC or Michigan, leading that pack.
I'd say BC is at the bottom, but in my mind it is a good school and I would be happy with my kid going there.  My DD id not a senior yet, but out of the three would probably only apply to BC because she likes cold weather.[/quote]

You think GU is just below HYPS and MIT!?  :lol:

GU would even fall below UPenn and Dartmouth.

Same, I said that I think it's closer to Cornell's level, along with Emory. [/quote]

You people are out of your minds. Georgetown is a clear step below Cornell. Emory I don't even pay attention to. It's maybe a little bit prestigious with people in Georgia and for people working in healthcare, and that's about it.[/quote]
Georgetown grads make more than Cornell grads and Emory is just as selective. Who cares if you don't think about Emory-- the people that matter do, more Emory grads work in NYC anyway so its clearly not just Georgia people who think highly of them. [/quote]
