Do you guys think Northwestern is prestigious?
I come from an international highschool where typically the only prestigious schools are the ivies, Stanford, MIT and i’d say duke. Now when I do say I’m attending Northwestern in the fall some do say that it’s an amazing school and wow and that i should be prouds However, others say they don’t know it and when I mention I also got into UCLA and UC Berkeley they go much crazier and ask why I didn’t commit there! I know it’s too late now and I am happy with my choice especially for my goals on probably living in the east coast and probably not the west. But, I can’t help but wonder what the reaction is going to be when I go to the US. Are people going to know what Northwestern is? Is the name going to help me get specific internships and jobs that were harder to get before? Can anyone please share some experience on what they’ve heard about the school or if they’ve attended the school and can speak on personal experience?
