That doesn't mean what you think it means. And privates, on balance, are still preferable to publics.

NP. Yup.

Well, maybe if I had gone to one of those highly ranked universities I would have spelled it right!

I know - so funny.

Brown is a hot college. I bet most cool smart teens would choose Brown if they were holding offers to all 4.

There is site where you can compare how students choose between two colleges when admitted to both. Not sure how large the data size is but it sounds like statistically significant for most colleges.

Payscale shows UChicago grads average approximately $60000-65000.

What amazes me is that UChicago admit rate just 15 yrs ago hovered around 40%. In short 15 yrs, their admit rate, selectivity, is down to a single digit. I am guessing a huge manipulation.

I thought Chicago was producing all kinds of surgeons, corporate lawyers, management consultants, and financiers. Something off about that salary data. Chicago has top 3 incoming GPAs/SATs but sort of mediocre salaries. What the hell happens to all those ambitious brains once there?

you are confusing grad school graduates and undergrads. Most undergrads major in social sciences. The Law, Business, Medical School grads all tend to do well
