<p>^Agree with that. Although I do think Chicago is seen above JHU and Cornell for academic rigor and renown (based on Nobel Prizes and other faculty acolades). I’ve never understood Georgetown’s lay prestige. I suspect much of it has to do with Clinton and Bball. Its academic programs aren’t exactly renowned (save its IR program, and even then it’s behind WWS and SAIS.).</p>
<p>Northwestern is also rapidly overcoming its regional rep. Ofcourse, all this is subjective opinion.</p>
