[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northwestern is clearly the most prestigious. WashU clearly the least.[/quote]

Depends on who you ask. Each year, universities themselves choose their peer colleges when reporting to the US Dept of Education.

All three colleges being discussed (put down?) here on this thread chose the other two as their peers. Hopefully this will put an end to this thread which has degenerated over time, but I doubt it.[/quote]

Can’t get past paywall but if it’s coming straight from the horses mouth…[/quote]

This is useless. WashU also selected Harvard Yale and Princeton, among other schools, as its peers.[/quote]

You have to look at whether these schools select WashU back... and the answer is no.

Yale, for example, selects all eight Ivies, Stanford, UChicago, and MIT. Harvard selects Princeton, Yale, and Stanford. Stanford selects all eight Ivies, MIT, and JHU.

WashU selects Upenn, Caltech, MIT, Yale, and Stanford - guess what? None of them selects WashU as a peer, which reveals a lot... [/quote]

You may not realize it but what you post is pretty stupid. First, we are talking only about Northwestern, WashU, and Vandy and ALL three select each other. But to use your dumb line of reasoning, Northwestern chose Harvard, Caltech, Stanford, and Princeton (among others) that guess what, don't choose Northwestern back. Similar with Vandy. I guess that "reveals" a lot about Northwestern and Vandy. Next time think before you post.
