Or Andover students were denied at a higher rate from the other schools.

Well, if I’m an MIT proponent, I’d be just a little ticked off that you omitted the “M” from HYPSM in your CC name.

BTW, we’re running out of mountain tops to climb in this world to exclaim that UoC is the best of something.

I knew I’ve seen this kinda thread before.

Here’s a couple more recent “look at me, I’m the best” type threads:

Lookie who is in the top 10 in the world!

Yeah yeah yeah, rankings don’t mean a darned thing. I agree, no need to tell me. But here’s the most recent QS World University rankings. QS World University Rankings 2022: Top Global Universities | Top Universities Three words: suck it, Princeton! (Please know, I am just extra punchy tonight. Don’t take me seriously).

Econ Back at #1 (U.S. News)

It’s important to point out that looking at grad school rankings may not translate well into undergraduate educational quality. For instance, Berkeley dominates UChicago in English, and a fair perusal of each school’s respective PhD program in that subject will show that Berkeley’s placement and time to graduation are also superior to UChicago’s. Does this mean that Berkeley has a better humanities experience for the undergrads than does UChicago? No. If one prefers a Great Books approach, there are Hum and Sosc sections that will give them something along those lines. It’s not St. John’s, but UChicago is a top R1 and there is more to undergraduate education there than a Great Books program. Anyone curious as to how Moritmer Adler’s Great Books influenced the Core we see today at UChicago should read Boyer’s essay that is linked in the Chicago Maroon article. It’s a fascinating read.

I may be missing them, but I don’t see any of these kinda threads from HYPSM or the rest of the Top 10, 20, 30, 40, 50…schools.

My reaction: here we go again!

It’s the Revenge of the Nerds, the Return of the Repressed, the Rebellion of the Peons, the attack of the C-creature from the Black Lagoon. Best learn to live with it, Sushi.

U Chicago is lowering its standards slightly to accept solid kids from well-known and influential prep schools. In substantial numbers.

It’s called building the brand. Maybe re-imagining it.

There is nothing to be said that was not said on the previous thread on this topic, or which can be said (for now) on the current HW thread. Closing.
