[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes, what is the latest at Northwestern?  Are there any freshmen parents who can comment?

I think traditionally it was mainstream work-hard, play-hard but more recently has gotten very quirky and not-fun (no one goes to football games, grinds 24/7, super competitive with each other for any resources and the party scene has moved to U of Chicago, etc) but [b]then I've heard that Northwestern corrected this a bit this past cycle and admitted more mainstream kids.  [/b]

What is the word on the street from current parents, preferably those with freshmen?

Thank you![/quote]

What does this even mean (bolded?)

Do you really think admissions officers are sitting around that giant conference table and saying things like, "You know, Joe, we've gotten too many weirdos in the last few years. Not good for the reputation. Let's look for more mainstream kids."[/quote]

lol

No…. but they might be doing what Vanderbilt has been doing for the last five or more years? Looking for “leadership” evidence, including being captain of sports team or student government president or the like as evidence for the extroverted kid they are looking for.

Anyone?
