<p>NU doesn’t have to be the greatest school in the world. What is it with all the linear thinking? Why do schools have to be viewed as 1,2,3,4,5, etc?
Why can’t there be X number of really good schools, all which have unique strengths and aspects, to them? I just don’t think very well of people who can’t evaluate on multiple dimensions and have to reduce everything to a numbered, ordinal list.</p>
<p>Why does Penn have to be “better” than Northwestern? Why can’t it just be different? Ditto for any other pair of top 20 schools.</p>
