[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if you'll get the head on comparison; they attract very different types if you know the schools and are truly thinking about fit. Who would be applying to both?  Northwestern reads more normal and preprofessional.  Chicago is intense and intellectual, with many on path to PhDs. So the admissions rate of Chicago is lower, but the pools are different.[/quote]

Northwestern = Slytherin

Chicago = Ravenclaw[/quote]

LOL, what?  I went to NU* years ago, and it feels like Hufflepuff coming from the East Coast.  Nowhere in the Midwest is Slytherin.

*It's NU, not NW.  The fact that a PP claiming to be from Chicagoland calls it "NW" makes me think they're not actually from that area.  FWIW, I applied to both NU and UChicago back in the day.  UChicago recruited me hard (postcards, had a random student call to ask if I had questions), NU didn't.  Loved NU.[/quote]

I am not from the area or either school (although dc applied to NW) and I refer to it as NW bc too confusing with NUE=Northeastern. [/quote]
