<p>Haha Lejeune I want to think that you're right. The U of C gets confused quite often with UIC (University of Illinois-Chicago) and UIUC (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign). Every year there are kids who come to U of C for move-in day, thinking it's UIC.</p>
<p>I also agree that Penn and Chicago are so different from each other as to not be comparable. One of my friends was offered to be a Franklin Scholar at Penn, but was turned off by the school and instead is attending the U of C. Though she's quite smart and a good student, I wouldn't necessarily think of her as pick of the litter at Chicago.</p>
