Students love Brown's easy grading policy. Makes academics low stress.

Well sheeit, if we're going to do that then I'd say:

1. MIT
2. Stanford
3. Harvard
3. Cal Tech
5. Princeton
6. Duke
6. Johns Hopkins
8. Yale
8. Penn
10. Brown

We found the Brown alum who was rejected by Northwestern !

Kids at Brown don't care about Northwestern.

Oh but they do. For finance bros and stem kids, Brown is seen as an easier admit and not as good as Northwestern—so many kids who get deferred or rejected from ED at Penn Wharton or engineering or M&T(insanely popular among males from wealthy families) “settle” for Brown or Dartmouth in RD, and often do not get into Northwestern RD but would prefer it over Brown if they did.

The theory that people want to attend Penn or Northwestern way more than Brown or Dartmouth is not really supported by data.

Regular decision acceptance rate
4.0% Brown
4.4% Penn
4.5% Dartmouth
5.5% Northwestern

Regular decision yield
53.0% Penn
49.8% Dartmouth
45.0% Brown
36.5% Northwestern

This is interesting information.

RD yield is lower at Northwestern because almost all NU RD admits have very elite East Coast options. Unless exposed to the Chicago area (Chicago is the nation's third largest city), many do not realize what an incredible location NU has. And Chicago is easily accessed and is a great city. Also, the weather deters some.

UPenn does well due to the Wharton School of Business which is the best in the country and probably the best in the world.

Again, thank you for posting the information. If I may ask, what is your source ? TIA

None of that dispels his theory. It suggests they arent even getting into Northwestern which for finance might be true.

Sure you did. Such delusion.

🤭🤭🤭

Penn has been overrated for a while now, so this list feels like a return to the norm, if anything. I’d still place Columbia above Penn for just about anything.

Test optional Hopkins def doesn’t

You're an idiot because Hopkins already declared itself to be not test optional going forward.

https://hub.jhu.edu/2024/08/16/undergrad-admissions-standardized-test-requirement/

Duke meanwhile hasnt.

Neither has northwestern, harvard, penn, or Yale.

Harvard is test required, so is Yale.

Not quite:

"Yale's Test-Flexible Policy
Yale requires all first-year and transfer applicants to submit standardized test scores. Applicants choose which scores to include from four options:

ACT
Advanced Placement (AP)
International Baccalaureate (IB)
SAT
Applicants who choose to meet the requirement with AP or IB scores should include results from all subject exams completed prior to applying. Applicants who choose to meet the requirement with ACT or SAT scores may also include any AP or IB scores of their choosing."

You can therefore submit AP scores in lieu of test scores

Why not Northwestern or Duke by that same token?

I mean Hopkins has humanities and is way more well rounded than Caltech

But it is no match for Caltech at what Caltech excels at

so what? Hopkins is higher ranked than most of the other top 10 for engineering and stem. And it wildly outranks caltech at social sciences and humanities.

You want to rank the top 10 Hopkins humanities department by itself?

So Caltech is better at everything it does than Hopkins.

not in bioengineering, biology, and anything medical related.

Looks like the middle school trolls have found this thread.
