How is Penn paired with Chicago? Chicago is econ central, no engineering, very small premed.


Smart, big city, so so nabe, prep school, pre-pro

This is really good. I would change Northeastern to a backup for Michigan and harvard's backup to BC. Lots of northeast, non-rural ivy seekers have BC as a backup, for all interests except hard core stem(physics, engineering). Northeastern seems to attract stem kids who want Michigan or Berkeley as their top choice. They usually do not apply to ivies at all, but might have MIT on there as a super reach.

Note that Vandy and WashU are going in a different political direction away from the Ivies as noted on another thread here today. May or may not matter to an applicant.


with friends kids at all of these but Columbia, it does not matter nearly as much as DCUM thinks, as far as the undergrad experience. All are left of center schools, and all had something like 80-20% votes Harris to Trump based on polls by college dems and republicans and the on campus visual politics last fall. Again, no on campus info on Columbia, but the rest were simply not too different for the 24-25 school year.

NYC TT, this year no Jewish kids go to Columbia.


Same for us (TT private) in another market.
