Look at avg ACT/SAT rates and application rates and you'll see the gap has closed. People are interested in better life styles and weather.

Hahahahaha oh this is a new level of pathetic

We’ll the numbers don’t lie. The poster is not wrong.

What numbers? Those schools are not equivalent in any way. Vanderbilt = Columbia? Duke/Rice = HYP?! LOL.

NP--And upon what numbers are you basing your out-loud laughter? There is essentially no difference in the quality of an education at any of the schools mentioned in this thread. Compare them on your choice of numbers available in their Common Data sets.

Regardless, what matters is not the school anyway, but the individual and what they make of the school. This was shown to be true over a decade ago by Alan Krueger and Stacy Berg-Dale......

If there is no difference than shouldn't all the schools be equal then?

Duke/Rice <= Columbia/Penn

WashU, Emory and Rice are no-name schools. Vanderbilt is maybe equivalent to or a little lower than the lower Ivies (Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell), while Duke is probably equal or a little higher.

Interesting article for those so obsessed with HYP:

Alan Krueger - such a loss

There is a nice walkable area called the Loop by the campus. About a 5 min walk. Nice, but kind of a dump.

Very overrated. Think more in the Wake Forest / Tufts area.

Crazy yield protective. CRAZY.

People like to talk about Ivy League “reject” schools as if it were derogatory. Given that HYP rejects more than 95% of applicants and the fact that many of the 5% or so who were actually accepted have hooks (legacy, athletic recruits, donors, child of VIPs, first-gen, URMs, etc), being an Ivy “reject” is actually a good thing. Also, keep in mind that that acceptances are a bit the luck of the draw. In short, all colleges outside the Ivy League would love to be considered Ivy “rejects” as it means that very strong students are applying to them. Not being an Ivy “reject” means that college is not even on the radar of strong students.

Why do some people overrate Rice...

Because it’s admissions rate and statistics are the same as HYP.

It's not.

From their website. 25th percentile. 34. 75th percentile. 35. That’s as good as any Ivy. And a single digit admit rate.
