[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree with PP about the impact on Asians, generally in our community they still aim for the same schools regardless of year-to-year shifts. Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Penn, Duke, Columbia, are the ones I see are very popular and highly desirable amongst Asians in our area.[/quote]

HYPSM, yes. Duke and Wharton, too. Not Columbia. Asians have always seen it Columbia as a fake, a backup school for stidents who couldn't get into actual elite schools. They are even more skeptical now that Columbia has been caught faking all its numbers. [/quote]

Columbia is more desirable than Duke[/quote]

Columbia is the only Ivy in NYC and it always will be, it is ranking-proof.

It’s literally a fantasy come true for thousands and thousands of kids all around the world in a way Dartmouth or Penn or even Yale is not.

Location location location, it matters.

Show me the kid who is having starry eyed fantasies about living in downtown New Haven for four years.

For a certain kind of kid NEW YORK CITY AT YOUR DOORSTEP will trump everything else.[/quote]
