This simply makes no sense at the Professional School level Cue7. Reputation and prestige trump all when it comes to law school and business school since the elite institutions have a tangible and measurable advantage when it comes to job placement over inferior programs.</p>
<p>Simply put, it can be justifiable to pick Wisconsin over Harvard at the undergraduate level depending one’s career goals and fields of study (engineering perhaps). Choosing Wisconsin Law/Business/Medicine over Harvard Law/Business/Medicine just because the former is “closer to home” or “cheaper” or “a better fit” is simply unacceptable. </p>
<p>Saying that they are willing to settle for less is an insult to the Northwestern student body and an indictment against the notion of NU being an “elite school” then.</p>
