Target School Rankings for NYC 2025 (fr fr)

**Just my opinion** 

Feel free to comment any inconsistencies.

Schools are ranked best to worst within tiers too but the difference is obviously very minimal.

S+: Harvard, Wharton, Yale, Princeton

S: Stanford, MIT

A+: Columbia, Duke, UChicago, Dartmouth, UPenn Non-Wharton

A: Cornell, Brown

A-: Stern, Georgetown, Northwestern, Ross

(small gap)

B: Virginia, Notre Dame, Berkeley

(decent gap lol)

C: Emory, Vandy,  UT Austin, USC, Hopkins, Rice

C-: UNC, UCLA

D: The rest

Kathy43 and reenametha are the same person who has posted about schools probably a hundred times across WSO and reddit. They are a high schooler admitted to Georgetown trying to justify their college choice by comparing it to better schools. This kind of behavior is not normal and Georgetown is a perfectly fine school, please stop posting.

Edit: OP and the first commentor (also OP) just changed their names from Kathy43 and reenametha lol. Please get a life.
