[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northwestern’s excellent and has produced a lot of big names and prolific alumni. I’d easily place it as one of the top ten schools in the country. Why all the hate? I attended a prestigious prep school in NJ in the early 80’s and even then Northwestern was a very popular school among the high achieving student body, among other schools such as Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, and Georgetown.[/quote]

+1, this isn't anything new.[/quote]

Agree. When I graduated high school over 20 years ago, there were many kids in the top 10% whose first choice was Northwestern. It was not an ivy backup. It was a dream School among the honors kids.[/quote]

Please cite some alums in the last 20 years who've done anything really noteworthy. Please don't name any j-school dorks. The only one I can think of is the former Groupon guy, Andrew Mason? He seems like like more of an outlier than anything. In my experience, Northwestern undergrad is honestly a cringy nerd college which has more of a state school vibe than an elite college ethos. The social kids we know transferred out. It's also really tough with a quarter system, so it's both hard and expensive, but with basically zero prestige or brand appeal nationwide.[/quote]

You sound really bitter for some reason? And your assertions are nowhere near accurate or true.

Just use Google next time, it's easier.

Ok, yeah, distinguished alumni is one area where Northwestern most certainly isn't lacking. Pick better battles next time, PP!

Is it so lacking that Northwestern has to count Meghan as one its distinguished alumni? What distinguishable thing did she accomplish to warrant that?

She’ married some red head white dude. I guess you need a NU degree for that. [/quote]
