Hopkins perceived as too grindy so most top kids don't apply, very self selecting pool. Duke is the fun/popular school of choice for many, but not necessarily viewed as top for academically prestigious, although i think it is.

Agree, Penn


Nope, just Wharton. Everyone else at Penn is pissed they aren't at Wharton and it makes for a miserable experience


Maybe it's the school that has the top major quant firms sponsoring your poker club (non Wharton).

It always amuses me when a post is pages of sarcasm, and then someone comes in late with their honest opinion.

Not looking for a lecture on fit or prestige. People can be curious about different things.


I would rank them as follows:

University of British Columbia
Penn State
University of Illinois at Chicago
Duquesne
Northwestern Louisiana

But what do I know.


This is great!
