<p>while id rather not get into an online argument with you, here’s a link more appropriate for any NU student who thinks our school is better in terms of prestige, exit opportunities, and academic standing than some of the top ivies:</p>

<p>judging by some of the past threads youve started, it looks like youre having a really difficult time coming to terms with the fact that there ARE schools out there that are better than NU. the good news: theres only like 8-9 of them in the whole country. i dont know about you but im very happy going to a top 10 school (or according to US news, top 15), and am secure enough with where I am to be comfortable with the fact that SOME schools in the united states, particularly those colonial American institutions with 250-350 years of success, are more highly-regarded than NU. Ben Franklin founded UPenn. call me shallow, or just call me someone who admires our finding founders, but that’s some damn good pedigree.</p>
<p>understandably, some colleges are a better fit for certain individuals than others. when choosing which school to apply to for ED, i applied to NU over Columbia because i like the campus culture at NU more. but two years into college as an aspiring ibanker, i realize that getting into a top ibank from NU is so much more difficult than going to Columbia or even NYU Stern. if you are a career-driven individual as hopefully most of us are (getting into a university is not the end of the line, you know. it only gets more and more competitive from there), think about where you want to be after 4 years of undergrad and choose your university based on that.</p>
<p>i thought i was better than engaging in frivolous online debate like this, but apparently there is just a terrible lack of work to keep me occupied in this silly office right now (6 interns in this chicago office: 1 harvard, 1 cornell, 3 northwestern, 1 depaul… yes, we can all get along). also, kindly avoid calling me out with smart-ass Wikipedia links, i have a right to state my opinions just as you have a right to state yours.</p>
