<p>“If you’re from New York (or anywhere outside the midwest, for that matter), no one will have heard of WUSTL.”</p>
<p>I heard of it, growing up in New York. Knew someone who went there. We live in New york now, and one of my kids’ friends goes there. I guess he heard of it. I would guess that, as in my case, the group of people who consider applying to selective colleges outside of New york will have heard of it. “man on the street”, maybe not so much.</p>
<p>Perhaps a little less name recognition here than Northwestern, but still not nothing.</p>
