[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]UChicago[/b] and [b]Northwestern[/b] are fine colleges but [b]they're no kid's first choice[/b], which by definition does NOT make them elite. If you offered 12th graders the choice between: Northwestern, UChicago, Columbia or Penn. [b]99% would choose Penn or Columbia[/b]. Therefore, not elite -- and their flyover geography certainly doesn't help.[/quote] Bingo![/quote] No, that's just not true. No matter how hard you try.[/quote] [b]Lots of kids in the Midwest and the South and the West Coast would choose Northwestern or Chicago over Penn or Columbia. Not everyone wants to live in New York or Philadelphia[/b]. [/quote] You are making a purely geographic argument. If a student rather be in the Chicago area rather than Manhattan or Philadelphia, then that is not a reflection of the schools. Close to 100% of admitted students would choose UPenn or Columbia over Chicago/NW.[/quote]
