[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both good at the easier majors. NW is better. Both not good for the difficult majors.[/quote]

What?  NU is excellent at the so called difficult majors. [/quote]

I think you'll find that the East Coast self-absorbedness of many of the posters on DCUM means they just immediately assume a school in so-called "fly-over country" could be as strong as Northwestern actually is. I'm originally from Michigan and it's strange to even see Northwestern being compared to UVA in the first place, with no offense intended to UVA. They're just very different schools by nature.[/quote]

What? I'm from the Northeast and Northwestern (and Michigan) were both hot colleges 20 years ago with top 10% kids.

UVA, not so much. Only one kid went there - a LAX nut. If anything, people from the Northeast looked down on schools in the South. Particularly public schools.

Yes, I know and I agree. It's a trend I've noticed on this board that some who have never escaped the DMV bubble think Northwestern is some regional school. I have lived all over the country and can say Northwestern is consistently viewed as a more prestigious and attractive school than UVA.[/quote]
