[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is hilarious. OP — sure, your kid should go with fit. But please do not let these WashU and Vandy strivers tell you that their school is in the same league as NU. It’s not. NU is an Ivy Plus school who’s peers are Duke, Chicago, Penn, Columbia, etc. A T10 school. Northwestern has a t14 law school and an M7 business school. It is an MBB powerhouse and has a high IB success rate.

Vanderbilt and especially WashU have none of those things, they would have zero national relevance without the US News rankings. I know 3 kids going to WashU, 3 Northwestern rejects.

Kind of pathetic what PP does here. Her line of reasoning is pretty much the same throughout this thread with slight variations. First she tries to associate Northwestern with the Ivies and with UChicago in an attempt to bring it up. Then she uses the USNWR ranking to boast how highly ranked Northwestern is while using the same ranking to put down Vandy and Wustl which are also both highly ranked. And then she ends by saying that she knows 3 Northwestern rejects who went to Wustl as if that finally clinches it. Well, I happen to know many Wustl "rejects" who went to Northwestern. Does that mean Northwestern is a terrible school? No, I would never stoop to their level because I think its better to think more rationally and fairly. [/quote]

Has it crossed your mind that perhaps there isn’t one “booster” on this thread and that the majority of people simply might think Northwestern is the superior school of these three options? Serious question.[/quote]
