[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The haters always have a NE bias. So, start by considering the source.

Have you ever asked a NYC person what they think about the Midwest? They speak about it pejoratively as “flyover” country. In other words, there’s no reason to go there. Period. That means Michigan, Northwestern, Chicago, WSTL, Vanderbilt, and others will never get the love that NE schools get. It’s distaste by definition.

It’s also distaste by culture. The NE prides itself in Type-A competitiveness, big city culture, name-brand elites, and prestigious Wall Street and consulting firms. The Midwest offers something else, but whatever it is, it’s not good-enough for NE hard chargers. The Midwest and its colleges might have smart kids, but they’re not as cutthroat as NE students, and for that, the NE marks them as “less than.”[/quote]

No, Michigan, Chicago, and Northwestern are [u]very[/u] well respected in the NE.

Nice try, but they’re still seen as Ivy rejects. [/quote]

No. Healthy, happy, knowledgeable people don’t think that way. [/quote]

I don’t think Michigan is a [b]back up school[/b] for Ivy rejects.   Most Michigan students don’t give the Ivies a second thought.  Chicago and Northwestern are different stories.  [/quote]

Folks, "back up school" is not the correct term.  "Fallback" school is the correct term.  
Ivy or not, any college education should teach you that properly.   :idea: [/quote]
