though humanities majors are indeed dumber than STEM majors, if you look at the "intended major" HS kids fill out when taking the SAT, you find that the kids intending to major in STEM are actually dumber. it's just that most of them can't hack it and don't end up majoring in it.

this is obviously flame or he's an idiot. columbia is top 10 or top 15 in most of the stem subjects. there's no way an mit stem person wouldn't be aware of the fact that columbia is good at stem.

it's be like a HYS law student not knowing that boalt law is any good.

To be fair, top 10 is pretty meaningless. In most STEM fields, there are 4 or 5 top schools and then the next 25 or so after that are all pretty comparable, however USNews chooses to rank them.

in the rest of the country there are good public universities so people know of them along with harvard, yale, maybe princeton, and mit for science/engineering. every other ivy falls into the "pretty good but i'm not sure how good" basket.

Confirming that people in Mid-Atlantic / Midwest have no idea how good Stanford is. The reaction when Chelsea Clinton announced was "WTF?"

EDIT: Cal has more name recognition (as "Berkeley") than does Stanford in a lot of places, I assume mostly because of 1960s activism and people still sitting in trees there once in a while.

OP said he had heard of Columbia, just didn't know it was an Ivy or not.

Do you really think every MIT chemical engineering bro from are country knows or cares that, say, Dartmouth is an Ivy, but Georgetown isn't? Not everyone cares that much about these distinctions, especially for schools they were never interested in.
