[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Attending Northwestern is not going to help your kids if they don't have the social skills to establish the right connections and meet the right people to help their professional careers.  There is a reason why many people with degrees from Northwestern and other 80K/year universities are making the same salary as people who attend public state universities.  Those that have the social skills to get into finance clubs at Northwestern or U. of Chicago are likely to be financially successful in the future.  Who you know is so much more important than how much you know in the real world.[/quote]

This is not accurate.

Northwestern salaries match other schools for three main reasons:

1) Many take jobs in the low cost Midwest and are still compared to East Coast & West Coast Salaries

2) Large School of Communications which is not a high paying field

3) Medill School of journalism is the best in the world, but journalism pays modest salaries.[/quote]

Why would anyone waste 320K on tuition for a professional career that pay little, unless your parents have money to burn?  You could do that a public universities like University of Illinois for 200K+ less.

60% of the undergraduates at Northwestern University receive substantial financial aid. Only wealthy families pay full cost.[/quote]

The average financial aid recipient at Northwestern University pays about $27,000 per year total. Financial aid is all grant money--no loans.[/quote]
