[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you asked 12th graders where they'd like to attend college next year, no strings, no admissions gaming:

- Northwestern
- Chicago
- Duke

98 out of 100 would choose Duke.

Same question:

- Northwestern
- Chicago
- Columbia
- Penn

[b]98 out of 100 would choose Columbia or Penn[/b].

I don't care how many apps Chicago and NU receive, I don't care how you [they] twist the admissions data, Chicago and Northwestern are simply not top rung elite. And outside of the Rust Belt, nobody sees Chicago as some aspirational city to live in, let alone settle down in after college. It's fairly stagnant, cold as hell half the year, and the crime is through the roof.[/quote]

Agree if it's someone from DC.  I never even heard of UChicago or Northwestern until after high school.  UChicago not until my 30s.[/quote]

Chicago is a slightly better version of Columbia.  For example Columbia’s Econ and business schools are really lackluster [/quote]
