rank in terms of prestige!!

Applying to College
1

<p>So I'm choosing between these 5 schools: NYU (Stern school), WashU (olin), UC Berkeley, UCLA, and USC and I was just wondering how people would rank these in terms of prestige (it's not that that's how I'm going to choose but I just want to see what people think of these 5 schools in terms of prestige)</p>

2

<ol>
<li>uc berkeley</li>
<li>washu</li>
<li>usc</li>
<li>nyu</li>
<li>ucla</li>
</ol>

<p>you would put ucla last? that’s interesting. i was just wondering: what part of the US are you from? because i’m from california so i think that may be why I find ucla to be just as prestigious as berkeley</p>

4

<p>Wash u, UCLA, NYU, ucberkely, USC.</p>

5

<p>UCLA is last. USC is considered better. UC Berkeley is generally considered better than UCLA just because its Berkeley.</p>

<p>Wash U is interesting. Even though its so selective, its never really considered at least mid-level Ivy in terms of prestige. idk why.</p>

6

<p>hmm, that’s interesting. what does everyone think about the mantra for usc: “university of spoiled children”? do you think it’s pretty accurate? is it still a stereotype for today? </p>

<p>besides that, I want to major in business: which school do you think would be the best for me? I really have no preference as for college/city life. I just want a good program!</p>

<p>My opinion

  1. UC berkley
  2. NYU (Stern…but only because it’s stern…)
  3. Wash u
  4. UCLA
  5. USC</p>
8

<p>The stereotype is flawed and based upon a stigma that is decades old.</p>

<p>In terms of prestige,</p>

<p>UCB > UCLA = USC > Wash U > NYU</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure you can’t do Haas first year. Don’t you need to apply to it later on?</p>

<p>I think you should go to Stern. Stern and NYU is kinda like Wharton and UPenn. They have a separate prestige factor.</p>

<ol>
<li>Berkeley (Haas)</li>
<li>NYU (Stern), WUSTL (Olin)</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>USC</li>
</ol>

<p>Here’s my opinion:

  1. WashU
  2. UCLA
  3. Berkeley
  4. USC
  5. NYU</p>
12

<p>UCLA> UCB>Wash U>USC>NYU. UCLA is more selective than berkely, and the difference is only going to grow in the future.</p>

13

<p>1.UC Berkeley
2. USC
3.NYU
4.UCLA
5.WASHINGTON</p>

<p>UCLA is know for its sports while UCB is more well know for its Academics.</p>

14

<p>I can’t imagine any 5 other schools with such disparate opinions (with so many getting it wrong). But the suspense is over…</p>

<p>… and the correct answer is:</p>

<ol>
<li>Wash U</li>
<li>USC</li>
<li>Berkeley</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>NYU </li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks for playing and have a safe trip home, and don’t foget to tip your waitresses.</p>

15

<p>1) Wash U
2) UCB
3) NYU Stern
4) UCLA
5) USC</p>

16

<p>1) UC Berkeley
2) NYU
3) USC
4) Wash U
5) UCLA</p>

<p>Are you from southern California? Seems some people there think higher of UCLA than the rest of the country.</p>

17

<p>yeah, i’m from central california (san jose) so we think of ucla and berkeley as being on the same level, with ucla > usc.<br>
it’s interesting how everyone has such different answers though! a lot of people ranked nyu below wash u but I was wondering how you would rank them in terms of business. i’ve heard nyu stern is phenomenal (although there’s no way i can afford it - i’ll have to pay 50,000 a year). how do haas, usc’s marshall school, and wash u’s olin school compare?</p>

18

<ol>
<li>Haas</li>
<li>Olin </li>
<li>Marshall</li>
</ol>

<p>wow i’m having such difficulty choosing which college to go to though. i’ve narrowed it down to wash u, ucb, and ucla. nyu is way too expensive & i don’t really like usc’s neighborhood. which of the 3 would be the best? (not just in terms of business - i also want to do some study abroad programs & I eventually want to go into law school so which would prepare me the best for that?)</p>
