Chicago is rated higher but the crime and the weather are a hard NO! There is a lot more to school. Wake is a very well respected school with a ton of benefits.

This is OP. Pre-Law, Economics, Poly-Sci, Government, International Affairs - along those lines.

Easily U. Chicago. Chicago is historically dominant in Economics, has one of the best law schools in the country (although I doubt Pre-law is a major), and is probably strong in the remaining social sciences as well.

I can imagine someone picking Wake Forest but on social life alone. It's Southern, Greek Life dominant, etc. etc. Meaning you have to not only be a wealthy WASP, but a wealthy Southern WASP. Wealthy WASP from DC suburbs does not count.

In addition to clueless, you sound racist. Sounds like you have some deep issues with Christian people.

DP. You sound unhinged. What does this have to do with Christian people? Are Southern WASPs the only Christians in the world?

Because you went to both?

They're in the same tier. Both full of smart rich kids. The end.

They are absolutely not in the same tier, and never will be. Most people have never even heard of Wake Forest.

Says you, and only you.

No one thinks Wake Forest and UChicago are in the same tier. Sorry that hurts your feelings, dear Wake Forest parent/grad.

Yes, well if that won't repel most people from Wake Forest, nothing will! Thank you for sharing who you really are.

Because US News told you so? Wake is an stellar school, with far superior weather and 1000x safer surroundings than the Chicago warzone UofC is in.

Yes, but also because of the number of Nobel laureates in UChicago (at least 94) compared with 0 (?) in Wake Forest.

This made me laugh. Thank you!

I feel like OP must be joking to compare the two schools.

If you are trans, Chicago, if you are straight, Wake Forest. If neither, then either

My DH is a professor at U of C in one of those specialties.

One of his students completed an original translation of Ukrainian (I think) government documents from the 1980s and wrote about that for her final paper in his 300 level course. In my mind (I have a PhD in the same subject) that’s easily doctorate level work.

That’s the kind of student who goes to Chicago. I know literally nothing about Wake Forest, but if your child got in to Chicago, and likes rigor, they’ll be right at home. If you want something more laid back, don’t go to Chicago.

apples and eggs

most bizarre choice i've ever seen on this site -- congratulations. Like asking "Hampden Sydney vs Smith."

I just don’t see these two schools appealing to the same person at all. I know a kid at each and they could not be more different and they’re perfectly matched to the schools.

Homecoming queen with high gpa from wealthy southern family at Wake and an brilliant albeit arrogant child of a scientist who has always acted like he’s 50 at Chicago. Both happy as can be.
