Take these lists with a huge grain of salt. It's all very self-serving and pretty meaningless. The difference between the most selective colleges and their backups are minimal, but this kind of drivel allows them to make it seem greater than it really is, just like the USNWR rankings do.

Northwestern and Chicago please

Sure, only posting top 25 matches, some schools may have matched to more
Northwestern-
Rice, Emory, Vandy, Hopkins, Cornell, WashU, UChicago, Brown

UChicago-
Upenn, Yale, Northwestern, Caltech, WashU, Cornell, Brown, Hopkins

It seems as if UChicago and Columbia would have more in common for undergrads than UChicago and the distribution-requirements-light schools on this list.

UChicago is selective but prestige wise it's not there yet. It seems like the admissions office at Chicago agrees because so many of its students are ED students. They know they can't compete.

You’re on drugs

No, you're just delusional. UChicago takes 80% of its freshman class in the ED rounds. This artificially lowers the acceptance rate and lessons the effects of low RD yield.

Here are the top 25 schools and the other top schools that chose them as peers

Some takeaways I saw,
Most public schools get little love from privates.
Georgetown doesn't have many top peers

+1 The only top 25 school, I see picked GU was Brown. NYU and Tufts also picked them but aren't really top schools. That is a bit strange.

I'm sure this won't knock Georgetown and its alumni off their high horse because Georgetown picked 10 colleges as peers and only one returned the favor... Brown. No other t25 picked them, and Tufts and NYU are T30.

But Harvard didn't chose MIT as a peer. You don't think these schools are the same level?
