[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U Chicago ranking in this table is extremely low.
U Chicago offers very strong undergraduate and postgraduate
and advance degrees.
it does not care about legacy and some other hooks as much
 but
they do care if you are full pay and went to a prep school.

And I just don’t think Duke outranks Brown, let alone Harvard or Yale. And it’s really just a Southern version of Northwestern; it should rank about where Northwestern ranks.

I don't think you understand Duke then. Lots of people on here give it an anti-intellectual reputation (probably because of basketball) but there are many intellectually curious kids there. Duke graduates have actually have the 5th most major postgrad scholarships (Rhodes, Truman, Cambridge, Goldwater, Udall) since the 1980s only behind Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Princeton, and 1 spot ahead of MIT. My cousin is a researcher at a major national lab and went to Duke for undergrad (and Caltech for his PhD), and he remains extremely dedicated to scientific discovery and the pursuit of knowledge[/quote]
