<p>My wife recently audited a class at a very highly ranked Ivy League university. The professor had taught at Chicago for many years. One day after class, she asked him for his thoughts on Chicago and the Ivy League school. </p>
<p>He said that the differences were rather striking. The focus on academics and general level of preparation for class was much higher at Chicago; the focus on extracurriculars at the Ivy League school was much stronger.</p>
