[quote=Anonymous]I think U of C's class size is a little over 1600 these days, but, yes that does seem like a surprisingly large number from a small group of schools. OTOH, U of C is tied for number 4 with Stanford and Columbia on USNWR's current ranking and has made a big push to compete with HYP for top students. Meanwhile, as HYP becomes harder to get into and shifts its focus toward attracting first gen and lower-income students, you have students at elite private schools who can't count on legacy to get them in and are looking for alternatives. So there's a kind of synergy here that makes these kids attractive to U of C and U of C attractive to these kids.[/quote]
