[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Confused how this is a bad thing. HYP are praised for this while Chicago is criticized? Make it make sense.[/quote]

My sense is that this board really doesn't like the gamesmanship Chicago engages in.

[b]Chicago is a top 10 school[/b] that behaves like its Northeastern.[/quote] 
It’s not top 10. No top schools would manipulate the admissions game that much. It screams lack of confidence.[/quote]

It is one of 5 other schools that other Ivies refer to as an Ivy+.

That must frost your gills.

[i]Harvard
Ivy Plus and BorrowDirect
Our partnership with BorrowDirect allows physical access to our libraries to affiliates of fellow Ivy Plus institutions: Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton University, Stanford University, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University.

Ivy plus  is not the same as top 10. Hope you’re smart enough to understand the distinction.[/quote]

It is better since there is no real or official "Top 10" list.  Forbes, WSJ, US News, Times, Niche, WalletHub, etc. all purport for marketing reasons to have a top 10 list.  No different than a top 10 list created by some random poster on DCUM.

There is, however, an official Ivy Plus list and that's the list used by the colleges in the Ivy Plus club.  That hurts you, eh?[/quote]
Hurts me how? You sound like an ass. Why did you get so defensive at this? I guess you’re a Chicago mom. Regardless, Chicago is not a top 10. It’s pretty clear in our DC’s high school only tier 4-5 students attend Chicago. It’s just not that deep.[/quote]
