NU or WashU

<p>I guess, as his Dad, I want to hear more about the “holistic” reasons people are at Northwestern (full disclosure, I hate that word…every time I’d hear an info session leader talk about their “holistic” process, I had to restrain myself from being a 12-year old and coughing “bs” into my hand, but I digress…). We know that both schools will offer amazing educations…we also know very, very well about “fit”. So, because we’re so familiar with WashU, we’re very curious to know what are the “fit” aspects that attracted great students to make Northwestern their college destination. Fact is that, unless a student applied early decision, we’re sure that they were choosing between great places. So, to repeat, why did that person choose Northwestern? We can answer that for WashU. Thanks!</p>
