[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]great school but expect uchicago bashers and the hypsm prestige defense squad to show up on this thread really soon... [/quote]

Present and ready for duty!
HYPSM is the best and top tier of the elite of elite of academic institutions.
UChicago is a great place, if the fit is right.
Positives: academic, intellectual, has prestige but NOT HYPSM prestige
Negatives: frigid cold, crime-ridden, quarter system so if you get behind you are toast[/quote]

Prestige-wise less than schools like Columbia, Penn, or Duke but above Northwestern and JHU.

Roughly tied with the lower ivies in terms of student caliber and popularity if you want an honest take. DS went to STA and most from his class who ended up at uchi were rejected from ivies or stanford. [/quote]

...and Duke and Notre dame. I’m sure uchicago wins cross admit battles with Wash U since St. Louis is an even more miserable flyover city than Chicago.  [/quote]

The only schools chicago wins cross admits are northwestern and jhu in the T10 and comfortably WashU, Vandy in the T15.[/quote]

A sample cross-admit data of uchicago vs other schools:

https://www.parchment.com/c/college/tools/college-cross-admit-comparison.php?compare=Harvard+University&with=University+of+Chicago

Harvard vs Chicago (71% picks Harvard) 
MIT vs Chicago (76% picks MIT)
Yale vs Chicago (75% picks Yale)
Stanford vs Chicago (68% picks Stanford)
Columbia vs Chicago (66% picks Columbia)
Princeton vs Chicago (62% picks Princeton)
Penn vs Chicago (60% picks Penn)
Duke vs Chicago (57% picks Duke)

Brown vs Chicago (50-50% tied)

Dartmouth vs Chicago (54% picks Chicago)
Caltech vs Chicago (53% picks Chicago)
WashU vs Chicago (56% picks Chicago)
Cornell vs Chicago (61% picks Chicago)
JHU vs Chicago (69% picks Chicago)
Northwestern vs Chicago (69% picks Chicago)
Vandy vs Chicago (85% picks Chicago)

The only ivy that Chicago has an edge over is Cornell. It's roughly tied with Dartmouth and Brown, coming in last or second to last in the T10 in terms of cross-admits. It comfortably wins over Vandy, Northwestern, and JHU. This generally goes in line with my expectations. The gap between Chicago and peers like Columbia/Penn are only getting bigger as the latter rise in applications, domestic/international rankings, and both grew their endowment by 30-50% this year to 15 billion and 20 billion, respectively, and are investing heavily in state of the art facilities and new STEM faculties. Plus the ivy branding always have an edge. [/quote]

I'm a UChicago "supporter" but Parchment is [b]not[/b] reliable data, at all. It's as good as moot.[/quote]

I find it funny the only ones who call Parchment bull are Chicago boosters.[/quote]

But it's not accurate, at all. I'm confused why people keep sharing Parchment as if it's reliable in the slightest.[/quote]

It's not reliable, but still a good reflection of the pecking order of schools in terms of prestige. A T10 school at best. [/quote]
