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

Funny my DC's first choice was Penn and he did Chicago ED2 (and got in). Wanted econ not engineering.

Must be a lot of Colgate red raider alums on board. Colgate isn’t remotely close to Princeton or Dartmouth. Not even close what a joke!

The only accurate one thus far. Well done PP!

No way SMU over Tulane.

I dont understand people putting 4 in a row.

Yale: Rice
Oberlin: Lawrence
MI: MN
Georgetown: Macalester
WashU: Rhodes
CMU: CWRU

Leave BC out of it, but I think Harvard undergrad and Northeastern are comparable. The students aren't there for the learnin'. They are there for the job. One provides internships; the other connections. But it's the same purpose. Same city, more or less. And they are both practical schools in their own way. I absolutely believe students interested in Northeastern should consider Harvard.

They have this in the Princeton Review of 3,000 colleges. I used it in the 80s. They update it regularly. I got it for my kids to flip through.

The Bible for exploring schools.

Dartmouth: Colgate

So are you saying they’re all four similar but those are the tiers?

This is actually super helpful and fun. If we can keep arguing to a minimum…

Brown: Wesleyan.
Princeton: Colgate.
Hamilton: Colorado College.

A more accessible school is going to feel “beneath” DCUM prestige-chasers, so I worry a bit about casting pearls to swine, but as a genuine “math, but accessible, in both acceptance rate and cost” school: St. Olaf.

Northwestern = Boston University
