[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please see below.  Vanderbilt has always been ranked below both Duke and UChicago. This yea (2026) is not shown, nut I beleive Chicago is now 6th again and Duke is lower. It depends on the methodology for US News and World Report. When they deemphasized small class sizes and nobel laureates, and emphasized Pell Grant recipients Chicago fell in the rankings. Also, Chicago has many who do not graduate in 4 years because it is too hard, which also hurts their rankings.

Do you know anything about current UChicago post 2018? Obviously not. The median grade is a B+ in many classes, A- in some and B in some, overall around a 3.7. Less inflation than half the ivy league but on par with the half that does not over-inflate(Princeton, Penn, Cornell, Columbia). 
There is no issue graduating in 4 years. Some choose to do an extra year for masters programs, that is what makes the grad numbers lower. There are very very few who have any trouble completing a bachelors in 4 years. Come off it. Stop spreading false narratives. [/quote]
This is correct. [/quote]
