How do you find this out? Way more helpful than what OP posted

Look how high Texas and Texas A&M are, podner.

Thanks for posting this OP.
So, for top endowment schools, is there any point of commonality between them? Like, Is there anything that can be said regarding the student experience?
For example, are they all Need Blind (I know the answer is yes from the handful that my DC applied to, haven't checked all of them)?
Do they all have ...investments in new buildings, athletic facilities, upgrades, nice campuses, funding for programs / student-initiated clubs?
Give more merit away?

Endowment per student is a more valuable metric. And what undergrads get from a big endowment is different at, say, Grinnell vs Harvard vs UT.

I'm not OP, but I don't understand the recent phenomenon of people (probably the same person) commenting "who cares" on many new posts. Why are you opening threads with accurate titles to tell everyone that you don't care about them? I don't particularly care about golf, but I have no inclination to go on golf forums and express my apathy for the sport.

Whatever. You’re just trying to write these schools off.

Many don’t have med schools.

I think it's a valid concern. At many schools, a huge amount of the endowment is earmarked specifically for medicine--e.g., ovarian cancer research. If a school's endowment matters to you and you're interested in studying medicine, that's great. But if you're a history major, that endowment isn't going to help you much.

O-H.

Go Buckeyes!

I thought it was interesting info. You can skip the thread.

No Purdue? That's surprising
