duke econ phd is solidly mrm, which means their undergrad is also mrm
How prestigious is Columbia University really?
-
There must be enough students turning down Columbia such that its yield is in the 60’s, lower than Chicago and Penn
Because Chicago has two rounds of ED? Literally there are only 6-7 schools out of what, like four thousand colleges, with a yield rate over 60%.
Yale has a yield rate in the sixties but no one seems to talk about that lol
-
Columbia has been selling degrees as cash cows. Columbia alma mater on the resume is almost worthless now.
Every degree for which you have to pay full tuition is a cash cow degree...
As if Harvard Extension School or Yale SOM aren't cash-cow programs for rich international students.
Yale School of Management? It's a Top 10-Top 15 MBA, on par with Ross, Stern, Fuqua, Tuck, Darden, UCLA etc. Definitely not a cash-cow program. The GMAT is 720 this year, tied with Sloan.

Yale and Columbia are pretty similar across most academic areas and professional schools. Yale of course has YLS and a stronger network in DC, it probably has the edge for undergrads in elite PE (I don't know this for sure).
Columbia however is significantly stronger in CS and every field of engineering, so that positions it well for the digital economy.

It has been admitting a lot of international students with little to no work experience as of late that sort of diluted its brand name. Don't know that many MBA programs that admit kids fresh out of college. Compared to Yale College or YLS, SOM is quite lackluster, especially when it's Yale and people like to compare it with Harvard but its business school is barely on-par with little-known Dartmouth. Just because it has Yale in its name doesn't make it the tippy top of business schools.

More well-known abroad than Princeton or Yale
Haha no it isn't.
You clearly don't live abroad. Princeton is not as well-known overseas as it is in the US, partly has to do with its undergrad focus and a smaller grad school. Reputation-wise, Berkeley is actually more well known than any of those schools I mentioned. Of all the US schools, only Harvard, Stanford, and MIT have a truly global reach.

Columbia has pretty strong networks too, being in NYC and being an Ivy with a solid Wall Street network. Quite a few HFs recruit OCR at Columbia but not Yale.
