[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fascinating that this conversation keeps getting resuscitated. I guess a lot of people are always searching "UChicago vs. Northwestern" even though, as many PPs have noted, they're quite different schools. It is really quite remarkable how these two Chicago schools have ascended the rankings and entered the public consciousness. UChicago of course much more dramatically, and their "gaming the rankings" has been well documented on these forums and elsewhere, but Northwestern has also notched a very respectable and steady climb upwards.[/quote] UChicago has always been a graduate powerhouse (one of the very best, I imagine) that just happened to have an undergraduate college plunked onto it as an afterthought. Northwestern has always been prestigious, but mostly in the upper Midwest. The idea that it's an up-and-comer is a myth that, at this point, has persisted for quite literally close to a hundred years. Northwestern belongs to the very select circle of colleges that the truly moneyed elite in this country would deign to send their offspring to.[/quote] Quite a few of the Pritzkers and McCormicks have gone through Northwestern.[/quote] Tom Hanks' son also went to NU afaik[/quote] Tom Hanks's son is the most notable alum you could think of from Northwestern?[/quote] *Most notable recent graduate. The list of notable, high-profile [b]undergrad [/b] alums as well as children of celebrities who attended Northwestern undergrad trumps U of C by a long shot. [/quote]
