Columbia: 22,249 applicants

<p>Look at the numbers. It’s a race for fourth.</p>

<p>HYP don’t simply have more resources than the other ivies, they lap them. Break down the endowments per student. PYH (in that order) have over a million/student. Dartmouth comes in at about 600k, Penn at over 300k, and CCB in the 200s.</p>

<p>HYP are on their own. The rest of the Ivies all offer different experiences. Of the ones you’re lucky enough to get into, pick the one that fits you best. As an aside, you’ll never know what the right fit is for you until you’ve actually experienced college. Go figure.</p>

<p>I really wish we’d stop comparing our school to HYP.</p>
