Holy fucking shit, since when is UCL prestigious?

[Collagen or rope]

Apparently, a uni where ABB and 36 IB gets you an unconditional acceptance into some of its courses can be considered 'prestigious'

Dear god, the word has lost all its meaning these days

UCL is NOT prestigious. It is internationally renown. But that's purely the result of its location in London, one of the top financial centers in the world, rather than the U itself.

Here are some prestigious UK unis:

• Oxford
• Cambridge

If you don't go to one of these two, you should probably kill yourself.

Venting b/c one of my high school friends graduated from UCL today and made a massive fucking deal out of it on facebook. Posted a selfie in front of the London eye telling everyone he had apparently 'made it'. I almost flexed on that plebian with my Princeton hoodie, but decided against it and came here to post this instead.

UCLcels, your university is NOT prestigious - merely well known. Literally tens of thousands of high school kids with slightly above average IB diplomas and A levels go there every year. In the states, it is comparable to a Berkeley or UCLA. You're NOT impressing anyone with a UCL degree except your own mother.

Its prestigious coz its in London so people who graduate there will get into a good law firm/ investment bank. Simple as.

Its still a western world and UK is massively overperforming giving its current status. Having a former empire will do that. Thats why many of its Unis are still in the top 100 ranking.

If you wanna talk hardness or meritocracy then any top 20 uni from China/India will BTFO anywhere else simply coz the number of places vs number of people applying. You basically need Harvard/Stanford level acceptance rates to even keep up.

Yet the only ones that are known are Peking/Tsinghua/IIT. And I bet even most of this forum doesn't know what they are. Meritocracy doesn't truly exist.

So New York University is prestigious? With its 3.7gpa and 1300 sat?

No.

No.

It is though. Its got a very good law school, very good arts school and a decent business school. Got dome decent alumni too. In fact its name "New York" alone probably carries it.

The problem is Columbia U is right next to it so it keeps mogging NYU to death.

What was the joke again?
What do Columbia and NYU students have in common? They both applied to Columbia

NYU would probably be a lot better in name if there was no Columbia. This is a prime example of Uni Mogging.

Please stop. NYU isnt even a t20. Forget Columbia, even Cornell brutally mogs it. Slightly above average high school students go to NYU. It may sound prestigious to someone who has zero idea about education in the US, but it is not prestigious.

It's law school is top tier, but thats more of a testament to how far behind the rest of the U is. What else is NYU known for, except law and business? Look at truly prestigious universities like Harvard, Stanford, MIT. Merely enrolling in one of these colleges is worthy of adulation. Sure, Harvard has its standout departments in humanities, Stanford in CS and MIT in engineering, but a non CS Stanford student is still excellent. The same cannot be said for NYU.

Whenever I meet a NYU undergrad, I ask him if he's from Stern. If so, I can still respect him. If not, I immediately tell him to kill himself.

What about universities in continental Europe? The Dutch, German, French Universities are not known at all internationally, no?

 

[The Bleach Pill]

ucl is ranked above princeton

And Yale is ranked below Cornell, what's your point? Rankings aren't everything.

Hmm, off the top of my head: HEC, Bocconi, ETH Zurich are internationally renown

Are they at the level of Oxbridge/Ivy League? No.

Nobody knows bocconi or hec and unless the goal is IB they're not good at all

Maybe not your average joe on the street, but any decent HR team will be familiar with these unis.
