[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I definitely don’t think of duke or Vanderbilt as being as academically well respected as Chicago.  [/b]

I’m following this with some interest for my HSer.  I have a few friends that went there in the 90s and liked it well enough, but two are the type that are so argumentative that it’s exhausting to converse with them and one switched majors to avoid the cut-throat premed students and the weed-out approach in the bio/chem courses.  There’s a lot I’d like about the school but I’m a little cautious based on that small sample size.[/quote]

If you're some clean cut rich private school kid from a 'Big 3' with UChicago, Duke or Vandy on your resume, there is literally zero difference in how you're perceived. That is the real world, not to be confused with message boards full of weirdos who study US News and pre-college forum idiosyncrasies for years on end.[/quote]

NP, FWIW based on my UMC FCPS kid, after running NPC on each school, UC looks like might be the only one to provide some merit other than 1% that received by Vandy or Duke. [/quote]
