They are equal in all categories you asked for clarification on. That’s why you need to consider fit. If you don’t go by fit, you could very well go there and go there and hate it and not be successful and get nothing out of your education there. Rockerdad is right. You would be very foolish to ignore fit and go for prestige. Schools also have different name recognition in different areas. Many people cannot even identify Cornell as an Ivy League college. Others have no clue where Northwestern is. Don’t be foolish. Make a choice based on the best fit for you.
