[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brown, no question!! Has Chicago gone up in esteem since the 90s? When I was at a big three they accepted anyone who applied from NCS and STA. No way would anyone have turned down Brown for Chicago.[/quote] Yup, 1990s was the nadir of the College’s rep among HS students. IIRC, there was even talk within UofC of shutting it down and just doing graduate education. Instead, they decided to invest in undergrad amenities (dorms, food, athletic facilities, arts center, career services) and those efforts, coupled with external factors (diversification of Ivy undergrads, renewed interest in cities, Obama) have really turned things around dramatically in a relatively short period of time (my BIL was there in the mid80s and can’t believe the difference).[/quote]
