<h1>451 & 454 ^^this has been pointed out to annasdad by several posters repeatedly and sometimes he acknowledges it is true. However, he soon once again posts about this recent grad of the magnet HS who is currently in a MD/PhD program and whose father reported that her science classes at Northwestern were not as difficult as those in HS.</h1>
<p>As far as I can tell it is some kind of endless loop.</p>
<p>I have problems with the idea the Northwestern science curriculum lacks an acceptable degree of rigor but, at the same time, a student can get an amazing education at 3,000 colleges.</p>
<p>If it is all about Northwestern isn’t worth $50,000 per year that is a completely different discussion imho.</p>
<p>If someone has a personal opinion that only MIT and Caltech are worth paying full price for a science education, that is a different discussion - again imho.</p>
<p>However if someone is going to assume that there are an almost unlimited number of schools offering a science education equal to Northwestern… I am skeptical.</p>
<p>If a family counts as full-pay but can’t afford to be full-pay, or just doesn’t wish to be full pay, finding an affordable & appropriate school for a future science major seems to be a quest with which this board could really help.
