[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago churns out dorky policy wonks who make s*** for pay on the Hill and a fair number of doctors and lawyers. Northwestern is basically a private state school and churns out a fair number of journalists, a dying profession. Most grads of these schools go onto normal boring 9-5 careers, especially those without connections. If you’re not from the Midwest and have no plans to settle in Chicago, there’s no point in considering these two schools for undergrad. Cold weather, flyover country, both campuses are far from downtown Chicago hustle and bustle, and nobody in real life cares about them. We all know why coastal kids end up at these two schools — it was their only option in the top 15.[/quote]

You sound dreadfully upset. No need to keep posting the same spiel over and over again in this thread.[/quote]

I should clarify: I'm not from DC area originally. We are from Orange County, CA, and our youngest went to Northwestern (they gave the best aid, by far), loved the hell out of it, and now works in New York making the most money out of all of his siblings. Seems to have worked out brilliantly for him, and many of his friends from college are also in NYC or similarly doing very well for themselves. Don't know anyone personally out of UChicago, but they also seem like an excellent choice for the right student.[/quote]
