[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When did Hopkins and Chicago become top ten schools?  It’s been ages since I’ve applied to college, but I recall both schools being obtainable for a fair amount of students. I did a little research to make sure my memory wasn’t fuzzy. https://weilcollegeadvising.com/admission-rates-30-years-ago/ I’m just wondering what changed. [/quote]

I feel like Chicago has always been incredibly respected. JHU and Northwestern seem like more recent initiations into this tier.[/quote]

Northwestern was considered elite (not HYP-level, but still) when I applied to colleges over 30 years ago.[/quote]

it's mainly a school for rich white folks who major in communications, psychology, theatre.

You are unfamiliar with Northwestern. Lots of engineering & chemistry majors. Gets the highest academic rating from the Fiske Guide To Colleges 2023. Very diverse student body.

Nortwestern's campus: North campus is engineering & STEM, while the South campus is liberal arts, communications, music, & theater. Northwestern's Journalism School & theater are considered by many to each be the best in the nation.[/quote]

oh I forgot journalism, music, art
that's why it's outcome is not so impressive[/quote]

It’s pretty elite all around. Top 3 B-school. Absolute MBB factory but very respectable in finance too. J-school, theater, etc is what it’s most famous for but kid will have no problems placing into finance from there[/quote]
