[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, Columbia is next after HYP, but quite close. Plenty of genius kids there. New York City is hard to ignore in opportunities.

Historically, in the US from the 18th century through the 1930's or 1940's  H, Y, P, C were the big four and the origins for the IV ( later Ivy) for emphasis on classics. [/quote]

It's HYPSM, some gap then Columbia.  Columbia is great, but its endowment is smaller than Penn or Northwestern's.  That's one of the key differentiating wedges between HYPSM and Columbia.[/quote]

Agree for the p[restige, but the quality of education is outstanding, including the core.

Columbia's endowment is less now because it spent ( is spending) $7 billion on the 17 acres of land it purchased near its traditional campus to bud a new campus. If it had not spent that amount, the endowment would be significantly larger. Still large at $11 billion something. it will get more from fundraising.

Interestingly, as a back door perspective on the importance of geography, all of these colleges and universities spend a fortune to have a college club in New York City. This shows the importance all of them attach to world-class NYC connections and opportunities above anywhere else in the country.  [/quote]
