<p>is this a question? Penn hands down. it doesnt matter if its ranked one spot lower for economics, assuming youre going into business, firms recruit much more heavily from Penn, and the east coast is where you wanna be. if youre going into law, its the same deal-- a 3.7 from Penn is worth a lot more than a 3.7 from Northwestern. </p>
<p>i got into NU under ED (im a rising junior so mind you, like most peopel with 2 years under their belt at NU im a little disillusioned), and i really cant imagine anyone at NU who isnt in MMSS or HPME or some other rigorous program that turned down a top ivy like Penn for Northwestern. the only ivies you should not pick over NU are cornell and brown, thats about it.</p>
