[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually my son got in to Cornell and u Chicago.
He picked u Chicago. Not every kid picks ivy’s over other schools.
Another kid I know picked UNC honors program over Dartmouth.
Another one got in years ago to Yale and Jefferson scholarship at UVA. Picked UVA.
So many factors to consider before a family can make a decision.[/quote]

Cornell is the worst ivy so thats pretty reasonable. But generally more kids prefer 6 of the ivies (not Dartmouth or Cornell), Stanford, MIT, Duke, and Caltech to UChicago. UChicago is essentially willfully avoiding competing with those schools with its current strategy, but by doing so they’re also missing out on some potential superstars who have a lot of choices to pick from. Look at Columbia and Duke for example: they only take ~40% of their class in ED (compared to UChicago taking ~70% of their class in ED) and aren’t afraid of losing hundreds and hundreds of cross-admits to HPSM each year for the chance at enrolling the students who have personal preference for their school over HPSM.[/quote]
