<p>What schools are washu similiar to?</p>
<p>In terms of what? Size? Overall prestige? Specific programs? Please be more descriptive in your question.</p>
<p>prestige. I know that Northwestern is one. what are some others?</p>
<p>Well you can pretty much look to similar-ranked schools on USNWR for a prestige comparison, but WashU is ranked higher by USNWR than some schools with less stellar academics but better reputations. WashU is similar to Northwestern, Dartmouth, Cornell, JHU, Brown, UChicago, Rice, and Columbia in USNWR terms, but in reputation terms I would say it is somewhere along the lines of Rice/UChicago/JHU/Georgetown.</p>
<p>I've talked to both students and people who work for the school, and all agree that Emory is the most similar. It's also comparable to Northwestern.</p>
<p>something about Tufts really reminds me of washu, I'm not sure exactly what though</p>
<p>^Maybe the Jewish component.</p>
