I did a little research to make sure my memory wasn’t fuzzy. https://weilcollegeadvising.com/admission-rates-30-years-ago/ I’m just wondering what changed.

I feel like Chicago has always been incredibly respected. JHU and Northwestern seem like more recent initiations into this tier.

Northwestern was considered elite (not HYP-level, but still) when I applied to colleges over 30 years ago.

it's mainly a school for rich white folks who major in communications, psychology, theatre.

You are unfamiliar with Northwestern. Lots of engineering & chemistry majors. Gets the highest academic rating from the Fiske Guide To Colleges 2023. Very diverse student body.

Nortwestern's campus: North campus is engineering & STEM, while the South campus is liberal arts, communications, music, & theater. Northwestern's Journalism School & theater are considered by many to each be the best in the nation.

oh I forgot journalism, music, art
that's why it's outcome is not so impressive

It’s pretty elite all around. Top 3 B-school. Absolute MBB factory but very respectable in finance too. J-school, theater, etc is what it’s most famous for but kid will have no problems placing into finance from there

When did this happen? Didn't it used to be HSW?

It still is HSW just some rankings put NU Kellogg above them. I think Boothe and Kellogg are 4-5. All place extremely well everywhere, Kellogg especially into MBB

Duke, Hopkins and NW are often the ones taking turns not being T10. I personally would take Duke out.

Chicago and Hopkins are definitely the ones to take out:

Stanford's consistency is pretty remarkable
