[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm no Chicago booster but Parchment "data" is junk. For one, all of these hypothetical cross-admits are most certainly 99 to 100%, not 62 to 71%:

Harvard vs Chicago (71% picks Harvard)
MIT vs Chicago (76% picks MIT)
Yale vs Chicago (75% picks Yale)
Stanford vs Chicago (68% picks Stanford)
Princeton vs Chicago (62% picks Princeton) [/quote]
I think you're right in the sense that no one would pick Chicago over any of those schools unless there Chicago offered full ride.[/quote]

Those schools have massive endowments and offer very generous financial aid. Chicago can't really compete with them, and not even with schools like Columbia or Penn that non-Chicago affiliates see as its "peers". Chicago is also known for raising family contributions after the freshman year, a practice seldom done by other elite schools and shows, to an extent, how strained their finances are.

At best it wins cross-admits over lower ivies and Duke within the Ivy Plus grouping. [/quote]
