[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP, but the average caliber of undergraduates and the job options available to Northwestern grads is greater than those from UCLA or Michigan. If we're talking about the top 10% of undergrad populations from all three schools, however, they'd be quite equally matched.[/quote]

The difference is that the top 60-75% at NU can compete with the Top 10% at UCLA or Michigan [/quote]

Oh come on. The OOS kids at UCLA and Michigan are all the tippy top kids from their classes, largely valedictorian or close to it, 1500+ SATs, etc. Just stop it.[/quote]

Very likely those kids applied to NU and got rejected.  Seen it happen each year.  UCLA and UMich are great schools, but there is a reason they are not T10 ranked, and NU has been for years (and in T20 for decades).

Oh my.  Kids choose schools for reasons other than the USNWR ranking.  My DC could have applied to NU, but didn't feel it was the right vibe.  They did apply to several other B10 schools and would choose them over NU even if they had applied and gotten into them.  It's ridiculous to say high stat students at Michigan and UCLA are only there b/c they were rejected from NU.  Come on![/quote]
