Why is Northwestern Under-rated?

[Pizzagirl]

<p>

All of these schools provide an excellent education and excellent employment or grad school opportunities. Whether one is number 7, number 12, number 15 or number 18, really has little to do with education or post-graduation opportunities, and to a great extent the debate of the specific ranking is kind of silly. So, it really comes down to what you are looking for in a top-tier school.</p>

<p>NU is clearly in this tier of schools, and I think there is near-universal agreement that this is where it belongs.

<p>Exactly. Very well said. It’s ludicrous to consider anything at this level “underrated.” Look, the only people who are distinguishing / differentiating between #7 and #12 and #18 are high school seniors. No one in the real world thinks that way, at all.</p>
