[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just love seeing the HYPSM prestige defense squad getting owned over and over again. Most of them wouldn't have the stats to be admitted into Northwestern or UChicago, so why the fuss? [/quote]

I guess people are amused - or scratching their heads - cuz what’s the big deal with NU?  How does it differ from Vandy, Emory, Rice, U of ND, USC, Georgetown, JHU, WashU?  These are all great schools. So what?  [/quote]

Well, first of all, why are you bringing that existential question into a thread about a donation that Northwestern received? The fact that you are reveals more about your intentions and insecurities than it does anything about the school itself.

Second, if you really want to play this game, Northwestern routinely outranks every single one of the aforementioned schools (with the exception of JHU) across various metrics and criteria, and pretty much always have. I absolutely agree that all those schools are great, including Northwestern. There's more than enough love to go around![/quote]
