[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No disrespect but...

Duke seems to be the dream of every super smart captain/president of everything handsome preppy rich boy & girl. Honestly, more intense passion for it than even HYPS. I don't see smart teens having anywhere near the same sort of intense allure towards Chicago. And Columbia being an Ivy and in NYC has to also put it over non-Ivy in a tier II major city (in the Midwest no less) UC.

That said, UC is only going to get better. I like their efforts to make the College less weird. Not that they should lose all of their identity but it largely seemed weird/abrasive for the sake of being "different" during my time on campus, which is just desperate and pretentious.[/quote]

You seem to think being mainstream is a proxy for quality.

UChicago has always been excellent, from an academic standpoint. You just didn't like it when it was also known for being quirky and eschewing things that universities usually use to attract students, like Division I athletics.

Also, you're not using acronyms properly. UC normally means University of California schools. The abbreviation for the University of Chicago is UChicago or U of C. No one calls it UC.
