[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is trying to choose between UVA and Northwestern for ED. They are both her top choices.

Would love insight into the two schools from people who have experience with them. (Btw, I'm doing this for me, I'm going to let her make her own decision of course). Cost doesn't make much of a difference as we're not in VA anyway. Thanks![/quote]

NU is like the public ivy of the Midwest ( without the public price tag for anyone). Great school but makes zero sense if you happen to be from one of the five or so states  with incredible flagships. [/quote]

Northwestern makes [I]the most[/I] sense if you are (a) aiming for a management consulting role, OR (b) receive financial aid and want to become a journalist, an actor, or a musician.

I've heard anecdotally that Northwestern is also one of the very few elite privates that offers hefty financial aid for middle class applicants, and that the SES spread is a bit more equitable than many other comparable schools.[/quote]
