OMG. what the hell is this?

It's funny but when you see a list like that you really do realize how UChicago does kind of stand apart.

Incredibly rigorous but not purely in STEM, otherwise maybe a Johns Hopkins, but while Johns Hopkins has a phenomenal internationalrelations department, UChicago is know equally for physics, math, economics, business.

A pretty normal thread on colleges that are similar to one another. Hit your head?

I think if you shed the “CS only” view of the school, Stanford is pretty similar.

UGA is closer to Alabama than Florida. Sorry, USNews junkies.

Daughter got into both UGA and UF. toured both, studied both. I think they are similar plus we don't have to wear that heinous orange and blue.

Binghampton specifically targeted trying to be W&M at one time, but they don't seem similar. American would need a corollary that is in D.C. D.C. is Georgetown > GW > American.

Well, Rochester, Tufts, W&M, and Wake are kind of the odd ones out on the way USNWR does National University rankings. They have that in common.

Technically W&M's closest academic and geographic peer would probably be UVA because both have 1470 median with 59% submitting scores (i think W&M's 25th is 10 SAT points lower than UVA's and their 75th is 10 SAT points higher) but UVA is more than double the size so I would say WFU is their closest peer.

Rochester, Tufts, W&M, Wake, Tulane all moved together when the methodology changed. Tulane more so than the rest.
