[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a Wash. U. alum. I loved the school, and I loved the area around the campus. University  City is a beautiful, affordable place with great food.

But Case Western, Emory, Johns Hopkins, Rice, Tufts, the University of Chicago and the University of Rochester are all roughly comparable.

The academic experience for students at schools like Northwestern, UNC, UVa. and William and Mary who want an Emory/Wash. U. kind of experience is probably pretty similar.

Some students might prefer one over the others, or get more aid at one than at others, but the idea that people are coming here to bash any of them, and hype up the importance of small differences in rankings from questionable sources, is absurd.[/quote]
Case and Uof R isnt in this group. Even Tufts is a bit of a reach. [/quote]

They might have weaker financial aid, but the professors are the same kinds of people.

The good students have about the same stats.

A freshman math class at any of those schools can knock the wind out of students who come less well-prepared than they think they are.

And they’re all midsize private schools that are great for premeds.

So, they might rise and fall in various rankings, but I think that any given biology major at Yale who sneered at a biology major from the University of Rochester would look snobbish. The sneering would say more about the personality of the Yale grad than the quality of the Rochester grad. [/quote]
