[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do we need 16 pages on this? It's obvious U. of Chicago. https://www.collegeraptor.com/find-colleges/articles/2018-university-rankings/top-25-best-colleges-midwest-2018-rankings/[/quote]
[b]That’s right. If College Raptor says so, it must be. Glad we cleared that up![/quote][/b]

Third in the U.S. for Universities after Princeton and Harvard.  If you don't know Chicago's reputation there is just something wrong with you.  U.S. News & world report. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities[/quote]
C[b]hicago has a fine reputation. I just don’t understand the notion that a for-profit magazine is the arbiter of what the best colleges are. [/quote][/b]

You're one of the Catholics boosting for Notre Dame, right?  Seriously, the answer for any guidance counselor is Chicago.  Just go and compare GPA and test score to get in.  This is not brain surgery.[/quote]

Why is the assumption that the booster is Catholic?  I'll tell you why...you have an issue with Catholics.[/quote]

Oh FFS. I’m Catholic. ND is an excellent education.  On par with Georgetown.  But Chicago is a different league.   If you are trying to impress the 60 year olds in your neighborhood, go ND.[b] If you are trying to impress grad schools and employers, choose Chicago. [/b]

Not an alum of either school. No kid at either school. [/quote]
There  is no meaningful difference in the way employers and grad schools view UChicago and Notre Dame and anyone who tries to suggest there is is very off base.[/quote]

My husband’s top consulting firm hires lots of kids from ND...never heard much about Chicago. They like the the excellent academics with a focus on service in the community.[/quote]

You know the hiring practices at your husband's "top" firm? How June Cleaver.

At our firm Chicago grads are on the top of the resume pile. ND in the middle.[/quote]
