[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this talk of well-rounded happy kids seems like code for white, wealthy, suburban kids.

50% of students are white, less than 8% Black. [/quote]

OK, so the school is filled with wealthy suburban kids.  That is the kind of kid who is attracted by the school. Definitely good students, and ambitious, but not academically ambitious.

It is a fine school, but not everyone's cup of tea - not sure why it is so hard to accept that different people want different things.

And the athletic complex may be nice, but it has nothing on the CU-Boulder basketball court with its view of the Flat Irons.

Northwestern kids aren’t academically ambitious- dumbest thing I’ve heard on this forum and that’s saying a lot.[/quote]

Take a look at some NU graduates. Not academically ambitious? Give me a break.

Some people have this weird notion that kids who like to be social/go to parties/don’t spend their Friday nights discussing Kant, etc. can’t ALSO be academically ambitious. I have no idea where it comes from, but it’s there. [/quote]
