Yes, I (the PP you’re responding to) am well aware of the fact that UofC had a 40% admit rate in the past 20 years.  In fact, it was in the high sixties when I was college/grad school-aged.  It was always the example I used to explain to kids that admissions rates weren’t an indicator of the quality of a school.

Reacting (in part) to the changing Admissions environment, UChicago has made significant investments (e.g in dorms, in Arts, in career advising/internships, and study abroad — even food services) to improve the quality of life for undergrads.  It’s also done a very good job of connecting kids to the city (bus/subway pass, free shuttle, ArtsPass with deep discounts to plays, museums, house field trips to neighborhoods, school events held at downtown locations, etc.).  So marketing/“gaming the system” isn't all that’s going on.  Basically, the University decided to invest in the College rather than treat it as an afterthought.

Re Yale.  Yeah, different pedigrees.  Historically, Yale was a rich kids’ school and UChicago was a smart kids’ school.  Now they’re starting to converge.  Yale’s reputation was based more on undergrads (and stronger domestically); UChicago’s rep was based more on faculty/grad schools (and stronger internationally).

But....But.... But.... Uchicago just sucks.... No smart kids should apply there and because they do, they must be losers and must be  ugly, It shouldn't be in the top 10 in the USNews ranking and because it is, I hate USNews.  Facts are irrelevan[/i]t...

So says the low IQ troll, UChicago hater and reject[/quote]
