[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northwestern is overhyped here on DCUM.[/quote]

How do you overhype a T10 university?

And, as PP pointed out, so many unique qualities and top programs.

What's not to hype? (Other than the swarms of flies in spring).[/quote]

From what I've seen here on DCUM, there are a lot of posts about NU trying to elevate the school to the level of HYP while dissing those schools ranked slightly below it (at least on USNWR). It may be a small group of posters posting over and over again but still it gets quite tiresome. If NU is so great, there's really no need to do that.[/quote]

I have not noticed any of this.

I have never read a post that tries to elevate Northwestern to the level of Harvard, Yale, or Princeton other than a brief comment about the theater program at NU versus that at Yale.

The biggest difference between H, Y, P, S, & MIT and lower ranked top 10 or top 15 universities is each school's endowment. The top 5 (Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton, & MIT) are in a class by themselves.

Dissing lower ranked schools ? Are you referring to comparisons between NU & other T-15 universities ? If so, that is done for all schools which attract similar applicants.[/quote]
