Oh lord, please don't tell me that if your child were qualified for an Ivy you wouldn't explore them applying.  We are a proud Big Ten family, hence why I said I understand her interest in those.  I think the top ones provide the best of everything!  I know very little about any of the Ivy schools and I thought this would be a place to get some useful input on subjective criteria.  [/quote]

[b]Northwestern is just as good as most of the Ivies.[/b] If my kid was “qualified for an Ivy” and wanted a Big 10 experience, we’d tour and see if she wanted to apply ED. [/quote]

I have no allegiance to Northwestern, but it is on par with any Ivy and the top 5-10% at most of the Big10 schools would be on par with the Ivy undergrad caliber.[/quote]

Northwestern University is easily on par with Ivy League schools.

The top 10% to 20% at all Big Ten Conference schools are same as Ivy League students.

Northwestern students are easily just as good as the Ivies. This forum is filled with parents that went to college at a time when Northwestern was considered a 
safety for top high schoolers. That is definitely not the case anymore, and Northwestern is just as competitive as getting into Brown or Penn. Basically, any school in the top 15 have students that are virtually interchangable. You could swap out every student at Harvard with students at Vanderbilt and no one would be able to tell the difference. [/quote]
