The status quo is there for a reason. Chicago is an excellent school but it lacks the prestige/name recognition and frankly the strength of HYPSM.  It is not considered [b]at very very top of any field. [/b]A common characteristic of all the HYPSM schools is that each one is the [b]undisputed top school [/b]in at least one field. Another is that their name is very prestigious and instantly recognized by most people. Another yet is that they have way more resources than the other schools. [/quote]

You tried to make this exact same point on another thread, in connection with your ceaseless argument that the "C" in the beast called HYPSMC is actually CalTech and not UChicago or Columbia. A number of posters shot you down with specific examples where Columbia and UChicago were at the very top of their fields, better than HYP. Did you not read those posts?

I have zero connection tomUChocago, but in my profession, Economics, people are hard-put to declare a "top program" among UChicago, Harvard and Stanford.

NP, and the Chicago basher is getting so tiring. Physics, English, and Political Theory are also programs where you're going to have a lot of people choosing Chicago over Harvard.
