[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]T[b]he student will encounter a much brighter population at U Chicago than he or she will encounter at UVA.[/quote][/b]

Since when?  Have you seen what is required to get into UVA now?[/quote]

It’s tough for you to see outside your box and around  your pitcher of Kool Aid, I think,  because of the nova competition —  a teeming mass of the offspring of a crowded population of overachievers chasing too few seats at a good, fairly cheap school — but the in state acceptance rate is still high and the test scores are lower than Chicago’s.  The notion that these schools are comparable is laughable. [/quote]

[b]All the independent 3rd parties - Payscale, Govt salary report, Forbes, WS financial reports - indicate UVA is comparable, even superior, to UChicago. OP's question is, is the tuition premium at UChicago justified?[/b]  Independent parties who have no dog in the fight answer in the negative. What is laughable is that Uchicaho is being passed over routinely by likes of UVA, UCLA, and UCBerkely .  That's what's alarming the UChicago people to the hysterical level. [/quote]

Also, UVA tries to select a more healthy, well-rounded student - the leaders of tomorrow who also have 4.44 and 35 ACTs - whereas Chicago has always been more number oriented.[/quote]

That’s well above the average act for that school.[/quote]

Not anymore, the top 25% of UVA students entering in class of 2017 had a 4.44; median 4.29; lowest quadrant 4.24.  This year's incoming class will even be higher.  http://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp.  DC entered with a 35 ACT and 4.44 GPA.[/quote]
