But I guess that wouldn’t hurt their ego that much as they don’t care Columbia as much as they do H and Y.



Who’s to say that they don’t? Columbia may very well have been their first-choice school. You don’t know that and I don’t know that. With these dwindling admission numbers, it is quite possible to have been denied/waitlisted at all other schools except one of HYPMS, and the decision to matriculate there in no way reflects the applicant’s view of any other school.



Columbia’s peer schools are UPenn, Duke, Dartmoouth, Chicago, NU, Brown and the like. that’s the simple truth.



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.
