[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UofC, along with Northwestern U, are the two "Ivies" of the Midwest. Extremely rigorous and intellectual in a big way, and reputed to be quirky, [b]but I've heard rumors that this character has toned down significantly [/b]and that it is, for all intents and purposes, much more similar to its mainstream counterparts now. I believe it is also slightly more conservative than other elite schools. Life of the mind is the unofficial motto.

Neither a good nor bad thing necessarily, but it seems like its reputation for having gamed the rankings persists even among high school students. Still, can't complain about the #6 ranking on USNWR.[/quote]

So you literally have no idea what you're talking about.[/quote]

NP. They started taking the Common App a few years ago, and the applicant pool is much less self-selecting than it used to be. They still have the quirky essay prompts, but they’re no longer required. It used to be that you had to really understand the school and demonstrate to them that you’re a UChicago sort of student. Now I feel like they’ve positioned themselves as just another school.
