Northwestern vs. University of Michigan

[ForeverAlone]

<p>

^Let’s look at what business leaders from leading companies in 10 countries say
Education - Image - NYTimes.com</p>

<p>Rank:

1. Harvard
2. Stanford
3. Yale
4. Cambridge
5. Columbia
6. Northwestern</p>

<p>Well, we don’t pretend to be Harvard or Stanford but your standard may be a little too high.</p>

<p>I came from Hong Kong and finance/commerce reigns supreme there. People in the knows definitely know Northwestern, thanks to Kellogg. I am sure that’s true for other major financial hubs. If you are talking about the laymen, well, it doesn’t really matter what they think in this country, let alone those outside. All I know is NU undergrad is one of the only dozen targets for Bains, McKinsey, AND BCG; NU undergrad is also one of the only few (<5) tragets for Booz & Co. Reputation is the least we should be worrying about, regardless whether it’s NU or UMich or other peers.</p>

<p>Note: “targets” mean schools for which companies hold events AND interviews. They do not include schools for which companies just show up for info session, job fair, or set up an onlilne resume drop.

Okay, let’s look at the rest of the list…</p>

<ol>
<li>Michigan State </li>
<li><p>Notre Dame lower than ^ ???</p></li>
<li><p>UPenn really that far down the list?</p></li>
<li><p>NYU same question as above. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>Surprised that Business leaders ranked Stern and Wharton that low.
And I could pick out dozens of examples of other X school is ranked higher than Y schools.
I can easily tell why you choose this list for a reason and did not compare NU to UMich’s 52.</p>
