After Penn, WUStL is one of the more remarkable USNWR climbers.



sunny903:

if it is really on par with schools like Cornell

It depends. Cornell definitely has the advantage in food; WUStL has an advantage in academic flexibility. I prefer Cornell’s campus, but others consider it too isolated. Cornell uses its endowment to make itself need-blind; WUStL uses its endowment for merit scholarships. I won’t comment on WUStL’s academics, but I will say that it matches Cornell in certain fields at the undergraduate level (i.e. business).



Shobhit2006:

it should be at least top 10

Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Stanford, Caltech, Columbia, Chicago, Penn, and Dartmouth make up my top ten. Out of curiosity, which of these do you think WUStL deserves to replace? ;)
