[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, wrt UoC I think the appeal is its focus on challenging academics and wrt Northwestern, it’s that the kids aren’t a-holes or grinds or chronically depressed. And both of these lures are implicit critiques of the Ivies. Both schools also benefit from the fact that Chicago is fun but manageable and gives you an urban experience if you want it, yet each campuses is a relatively self-contained enclave. [/quote] +1. In an era where outright elitism of the WASPy variety is slowly coming out of fashion/increasingly considered gauche, these schools are a compelling alternative while still being “elite” and prestigious.
