The important thing to remember is that no one should ever be held responsible for anything they do.

This is going to shock you, but considering race in college admissions has been illegal in California since 1996.

re: Nobody can get into Texas or Vanderbilt, but what the next hardest school to get into?

Doesn't texas have like 50K students? And nobody can get in there?

No matter what anyone thinks of California, they have a handful of great public universities, including 3 in the top 30. Texas has just 1. The same for Florida. These are the next two largest states, and every smart kid applies.

There are more kids with 1500+ SATs applying for Engineering at Texas than MIT or Stanford. The same for Computer Science. Now, Texas isn't as good as those schools, but every application cycle, you hear about kids getting rejected from Texas who get accepted at those schools, simply because of the numbers. It sounds cool, but a lot of families don't have 400K to throw around, especially when a degree at Texas costs around 80K.

I know plenty of people with Duke MBAs (and undergrad Economic degrees from Duke who have the Finance concentration) who are killing it on Wall Street.

Did your undergrad degree come from Bama? That might be the limiting factor for you.

This is going to sound rude, but you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I am involved with hiring in this world. IU Kelley sends lots of people to IB firms/Bulge Bracket Banks. US News has IU Kelley tied at 8th for undergraduate business with Cornell.

Texas is a great school but it’s no better objectively than Vandy

We were talking about undergraduate programs. In US News undergraduate business rankings, Texas is #6, just behind NYU, tied with Carnegie Mellon and in front of Cornell. Texas is ranked higher than Vandy in undergraduate CS and Engineering. It is difficult to find a popular undergraduate program where Vandy is ranked higher than Texas.

Look, I'm not saying Vandy sucks. It is elite and a strong argument can be made for Vandy over Texas in multiple scenarios.

Just finish in the top 10% of your massive high school in any dump in Texas and you’re in.

Top 5% (agggie is 10%) gets you in to Liberal Arts. If you want to get into other majors, like Business & Engineering & Computer Science (all top 10 US News programs) it is a bloodbath.

UF is an excellent and highly selective institution, but when it comes to the most desired (and lucrative) majors, it is well behind Texas (as is Vandy).

So is the implication here that Michigan and UC Berkeley are no longer considered public ivies? Because I’d always put UVA and UNC in that category

The term "Public Ivy gets thrown around a lot, but it was actually created by a guy from Yale in 1985 who wrote a book called: Public Ivies: A Guide to America's Best Public Undergraduate Colleges and Universities.

He named Michigan, Cal, Texas, UVA, UNC, William & Mary, Miami (Ohio) and Vermont as the 8 public universities where someone could get an Ivy League-level education.

Now, people ignore that origin, and there are 20+ schools claiming to be a Public Ivy.

re: Johns Hopkins admissions data shows plummeting number of blacks

People forget that affirmative action wasn't just about race. It was about geography, income, first-gen status. Remove it and the student body shifts back to wealthy kids from good zip codes. That's what these charts show. Not opinion. Just data.

I have a son who graduated from a US News Top 5 school last May. No one in my family has ever gradated from a private university before. I'm not wealthy. We didn't buy a building or use our contacts to secure a pardon for the dean's nephew.

My son was not alone. There are a lot of non-rich, self-motivated really bright kids at this university. People freak out about college admissions because, in their eyes, their kid who once got a 94 on a science test should cakewalk into an IvyPlus university. People don't want to come to terms with the fact that their kid likely isn't in the top 1% of intelligence, so they look for any and every excuse, rather than accepting the truth.
