[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While UVA is one of the premier state flagships in the U.S., Northwestern is in a completely different tier. If all else is equal and you have the choice between the two, pick Northwestern.[/quote]

Meh. I’m from the Midwest and have no concern about UVA, but this sounds like someone who has a grudge against UVA. As a six generation midwesterner and  three generation Ivy Leaguer  (probably because of the geographical and then legacy hook lol) I can  tell you that Northwestern sends a slightly odd vibe of someone who’s trying for an Ivy  and didn’t make it. Feels like Cornell (which is not great but at least it’s “Ivy” if that’s actually your goal ). There are so many other schools of its caliber how have more solid things going for it. But It does draw the east coasters looking for that just missed Ivy feel. [/quote]

I'm also an "Ivy Leaguer" (though not "three generation," as if that were something to brag about), and I can definitively say this is one of the stupidest comments I've seen on DCUM. And no, not Cornell. I graduated from Yale.[/quote]

Hear hear. This is a completely unfounded assessment of a school that is ranked higher than half the Ivies. And a completely unnecessary and equally unfounded dig at Cornell.

My hunch, from the atrocious grammar and spelling, is that this poster is a UVA booster merely charading as a "three generation Ivy Leaguer."[/quote][b]

Anyone who starts a post with “meh” or “eh”  is a post not worth reading[/quote]
