[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yale isn’t even in fashion anymore due to not being strong in all subjects like HPSM, and with STEM becoming increasingly relevant.[/quote]

Harvard isn’t particularly strong in Engineering either. [/quote]

Cornell is the strongest Ivy for engineering and CS and is the only one my kid considered. Penn and Columbia also have good programs, but DC didn’t want a city school. The rest of the Ivies are not top for engineering and CS undergrad and most top candidates look elsewhere. So it’s not always Ivy or bust for top students. [/quote]

I think that really bright kids who can live without investment-banking-type connections will generally prefer non-Ivy top 15 schools because of a sense that, aside from Cornell, the Ivy League admissions frenzy favors ferocious networking and cynical resume-building over intelligence, curiosity and seriousness of purpose.

The Ivy League schools seem to be for the kids who could read Plato for fun but would never do such a thing, because it would never produce a good ROI. [/quote]
