Hen, when I lived in Bellevue, Washington we had a neighbor with three brilliant children. His eldest, a daughter, did her undergraduate at Northwestern in Biology and then went to Yale for her doctorate in virology/immunology research. She has lived a story-book life as she met her husband, also a research scientist while in London (studying at Yale while in England). Great family and great young woman. She and her husband are now PhDs working resesarch in England. Her brother went to Washington University in St. Louis where he studied mechanical engineering and Japanese. Now works for Honda. Very forward thinking individual as his bi-lingual and analytical capabilities have proven to be most appealing to his employer. But Northwestern and Washington U. ... where do they rate?

Washington U is tied with Cornell for 12th
Northwestern is tied with Johns Hopkins and Brown for 14th
