[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also one more thing about Northwestern- they were way way ahead on the diversity bandwagon in a much more active way than almost every single Ivy League. Very few legacies and the ones who were quite good academically. So, I believe that’s why it’s reputation is getting so good- we were all forced to work in very diverse groups and the social scene while it could be somewhat segregated was more along the lines of “people who go out vs people who do not”, so you have a great network afterwards of people from all backgrounds.

I’m a way I was jealous of my Ivy League friends because their friends went straight to the top, but now further out in my career I see that this is much better if I wanted to make a career pivot or needed a friend to talk to my kid about X. I literally have friends who have done everything from sports marketing to vaccines to white shoe law firms to the standard consulting and banking.

Northwestern much more down to earth than many other schools.

Yes, many of the Northwestern grads I have come across in my career are noticeably less pretentious than their peers from other top schools. This is what I have noticed.[/quote]
