I understand HYP is god tier but after that it's like a mix of Cornell, Penn, UCLA, MIT etc. I rarely see anyone mention Columbia in a positive light on here. Columbia's location is king.

honestly, I'd go to Trump U before Columbia.
Columbia is a cash cow for rich internationals that want to party in NYC before returning home to their family empires.
Eh, people who have the pedigree and are pretentious enough to shit on Columbia are probably douchebags who you wouldnt want to talk to in the first place. Or they're a bunch of wannabe ivy leaguers/bankers/entrepreneurs/wannabes who like to talk the talk.
Almost everyone I've met from Columbia have gone on to successful "Onepercenter" type career paths. And yea, networking/meeting people/living in NYC really is unbeatable.
Don't understand the hate, never mixed with people who like to be smug about "lesser" ivy leagues, and never want to
Yep
One of my partners went to Columbia and has a 7 figure net worth at like 30...she had no trouble getting great jobs out of school. I would ignore a lot of the emphasis this site puts on certain schools/employers.
There are tons of ways to make tons of money. :)
I've been reading this site for a long time and have never seen anyone say anything negative about Columbia...? Sounds like your own inferiority complex talking.

Warren Buffett went to Columbia
