<p>I am ashamed to admit that I have almost no clue which school excels at what (how I wrote that "why here not there" essay is beyond me). I'm interested in bio/pre-med and pre-business. All I know is that: WashU has more opportunities for bio, NU doesn't have pre-business but has other options like certificate program. Could anybody offer deeper insights into either school? :/</p>
<p>WashU and NW are similar in many ways, and you will be fine going to either one. That said, Wash U is exceptionally strong in bio/premed, and it has a business school where you can get a degree while fulfilling your premed requirements if you choose to do so.</p>
<p>If you were interested in journalism, I would say that NW would be a better choice.</p>
