[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Fiske Guide To Colleges lists Northwestern's overlap (NU applicants most often also apply to these schools) schools as:

Duke, Stanford, U Penn, Yale, U Michigan, Princeton, WashUStL, & Harvard.

But few admitted to Stanford, Harvard, or Princeton are going to select Northwestern. Might be the same for Yale as well.

My impression is that U Penn & Cornell are similar to Northwestern as is Duke. U Michigan is an excellent university, but NU is probably preferred by admits to both who are not Michigan residents (heavily discounted tuition for Michigan residents).

Also, one's intended major may alter the list of NU's peer schools.

In my view, only a handful of universities would be regarded as typically preferable to Northwestern University based on perceived prestige; these schools are Harvard, Stanford, MIT, CalTech, Princeton, Yale & the Wharton School at U Penn.[/quote]

and yet, 80% choose Columbia, 67% pick ND, 65% pick Brown, half pick Dartmouth, 70% pick Penn (all Penn, not just Wharton), half pick cornell, about half pick Michigan. might be the same for Yale?  yeah, 90% pick Yale.

I think ND, Dartmouth, Cornell, MI are peers
