Imperial College London - top academic reputation, amazing city to live in, international students
Stanford - California weather, good athletic programs, lots of major companies nearby, impressive connections to VC
Definitely Stanford. I don't know what other college compares.
Yeah I think Stanford too. The others of considered were
Harvard-need I say less UPenn Wharton- Work hard play hard Duke- fun school, academic prestige Yale- like Harvard USC/UVA kind of school- the fun route with very respectable academics
duke or UNC. good sports, parties, academics and very attractive girls. if you’re a football fm I’d say Clemson. seriously, those southeastern college girls are on a whole other level.
For UG:
UCSB or SBCC for the fun/student experience/lifestyle.
Wharton's LSM Program for the academic experience, brand, & prestige.
Harvard for sure. It’s the single most prestigious university in the world, insane alumni connections, you’d be surrounded by peers like yourself, and easy grading.
I can’t stress the name brand enough. There are kids in the poorest parts of Africa who don’t have water, but know what Harvard is. Stanford doesn’t have that just yet.
