Majority of students dream of large flagships with lots of college spirit, concerts, greek life and sunny weather.

What is the Michigan obsession?

Notice no Columbia here.

Parents dream differently as they age. Not surprised Columbia is not on their list. From revolutionaries in their younger days dreaming of changing the world, they become Fox-watching Trumpsters as they age. If you ever watch Fox, you can tell their demographics during the commercial breaks. Fox targets men who suffer from erectile dysfunction with their Viagra commercials, people who need metamucil cuz they can no longer dump like their younger days. Good luck!

It certainly would. These news cycles will be a blip for those applying to Columbia this fall and forward.

Columbia won't have trouble filling its class. Every declination to attend is another student's dream come true.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Those kids have made that university degree almost worthless and its graduates unemployable.

The parents deserve a refund.

None of those would make my list. I dream differently, I guess!

NYU not in the same class academically, so its presence on the list reflects some students’ desire to be in New York City.

The undergraduate school of Harvard University is called Harvard College. High School students apply to Harvard College.
