<p>Clearly while on vacation I was a topic of discussion. First and foremost, viviste, I have no inferiority complex but I object to those who feel the necessity to compare NU with Ivy League schools. NU is a wonderful school, far better than some of the Ivy League schools IMO, but not an Ivy League school no matter how you define it and I feel it belittles NU to try and do so. </p>
<p>I guess I wasn’t clear in my meaning - Northwestern is a great school and can stand on its’ own; I think when people try to force it into an Ivy League category it is insulting and demeaning, creating a wannabe kind of impression which I don’t believe presents NU in a positive light.</p>
<p>(BTW, for those who don’t know, my daughter was admitted into Yale and Dartmouth and rejected both for NU and never looked back. No Ivy League envy in this house!)</p>
