[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago is where overachiever prep school kids go when they get rejected from every Ivy, Stanford, Notre Dame and Duke. It's a peer to Northwestern, with a less attractive student body. Rank it where it belongs in the 12-15 range and it'd have none of this tiger mom fueled frenzy. It's WashU in a major city.[/quote]
+1 spot on.
No matter how much they strive, they are not in the same league as HYPS.  Nothing to be ashamed of, just reality.  Kinda sad that these Chicago fans are so insecure about this.[/quote]

Kind of like Barnard people who think they are Columbia. [/quote]

Good Lord. I am thankful every day that Chicago is not HYPS. There is a reason Chicago gets top grades from the heterodox academy and FIRE, because it is one of the few schools left where the administration has a spine, whereas, today HYPS are essentially run by spineless administrators who don't have the guts to stand up to the asinine demands placed on them by a tiny minority of the students. From the shrieking girl at Yale, to the ban on free association at Harvard, to students taking over the Princeton President's office and the administration issuing "consent guidelines for floor dances" and Stanford initially balking at allowing a US flag on a T-shirt,  these schools have gone totally crazy.

Leave us one school where the inmates are not running the asylum. You can have the others. I would be SO DISAPPOINTED if Chicago became like HYPS. [/quote]
