In which way is that supported? Endowment numbers? Nobel prize winners? Pulitzer prize winners? CEO’s? Presidents? Because in any of those cases, Columbia certainly trumps the others and is very much on par if not better than HYPSM.



Not really. Columbia has an equal endowment as Penn and Chicago. It has the most Nobel Prize winners, but Chicago is close competition with it. Penn has more CEOs and trumps Columbia in medicine and business. Duke, Chicago and, in the social sciences, Penn closely compete, if not outrank Columbia in every grad school ranking. Penn and Duke are making groundbreaking developments in medicine and bioengineering. Chicago has one of the top pure science programs in the country.

By no metrics is Columbia ‘on par’ with HYPSM. It’s not even close to a competitor.
