[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago if your kid is an intellectual  who enjoys hanging around super smart kids and discussing a wide range of topics. Also id he or she intends to go to graduate or medical or law school. If your kid is smart, outgoing, hangs out with kids  who enjoy social
Activities. UVA is a better choice. [/quote]

Do many Chicago kids feed into US medical and t14 law schools? Both require top gpa, which is near impossible at UC. Bottom 50% at UC are smart as hell but have low gpas compared to the 3.8 3.9 4.0 kids at Ivies LACs and public Us.[/quote]

[b]Someone posted above the medical school acceptance rate of approximately 80% for UChicago, consistent with other top schools in the country including top LAC's.  The average medical acceptance rate hovers around 40%.[/quote][/b]

Well, I googled "medical school acceptance rate for UVA" and got 95%.  University of Virginia medical school acceptance rate
Since its inception in 2006, the Post-Bac Pre-Med Program has a 95 percent acceptance rate to medical schools across the nation. Here are some of the medical schools that have accepted our graduates: Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. Boston University.[/quote]

That’s a selective program for people who got BAs (anywhere) without planning to go to med school and who now need to retrofit the necessary pre-med courses into their education.  It’s not any indication of how successful UVA BAs are wrt med school admissions.[/quote]
