[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago.  The campus vibe and physical environment are hugely improved from when I turned down admission there.  Strong administration and vision good city access but with a real campus.  Being in a major university with a worldwide reputation will be great now and later. Congratulations on having exceptional choices.[/quote]

Thank you! Both are beautiful campuses. What happens to bottom decile admits at Chicago? Will Chicago make DC grow up fast academically? If that is guaranteed, Chicago is a no brainer.[/quote]

She will be surrounded by a cohort where caring about academics is part of one's social ranking.  IMO peer influence plays a huge role to bolster academic success.
There is a lot of work but the rigor is adjustable by number of courses and type of class.  Very small classes BTW which minimizes the likelihood she will get lost in a crowd.
The CORE is guarantee she will graduate with a good education.  Most importantly, in term of work, UChicago is midwestern friendly and promotes a cooperative study environment.
Admissions would not have extended her the offer without 1.  being interested in the way she thinks and 2. being confident she can graduate.  So I wouldn't worry about whether she could thrive academically if she likes the environment  There's also a good number of kids interested in pursuing a career in education in addition to the more minstream finance or consulting. 
She has two really good offers.  The admitted student days helped our DC with a decision between good schools.  They provide  lot more detail than pre-admission tours and I know at Chicago she can spend the night with an older friend there or can be assigned to a host.[/quote]
