Best Undergrad IB Programs
Hi monkeys, I am currently a sophomore in college at a semi-target, but have a younger brother who is deciding between schools, and wants my advice. He isn't sure he wants to do IB yet, but wants to give himself the best opportunity possible. He has gotten into Duke, UChicago, and Stanford, and was waitlisted at Princeton. What would be the IB rankings for these schools?
And would it matter for the city he ends up trying to get recruited to?
Stanford is the easy choice. Less competition, more prestige.
Both good points
He will be very well off for IB at any of those.
Stanford would be my choice for the brand and exit optionality. If he's interested at all in tech, VC, those are all common exits as well as IB.
stanford is the obvious choice but duke if he thinks its a better fit + wants east coast
So you think Duke would give better opportunities for east coast than Stanford, even with probably a better name in the latter?
no, I meant if he wants to be on the east coast for college, nyc recruiting will be good from any of the schools
UChicago = Grade deflation and in the hood
Stanford = Grade inflation and in Palo Alto
Seems like a no brainer to me. Duke is a good choice too if he's geared more towards east coast culture.
Duke is a southern school, not an east coast school. That's reflected in their culture quite clearly
I guess my point was that there are more east coast kids at duke than at the other two schools.
look at a map bud
the VAST MAJORITY of kids at Duke are east coast preppy transplants
