<h1>44 and #46 is the same school</h1>

<p>Interesting… Columbia’s website is astronomically ugly IMO.</p>

<p>^Yea it totally is in need of an extreme makeover… the design looks like as if it’s been used for like a decade already (okay I’m making it seem older than it actually is)…</p>

<p>Btw I liked how Chicago chose to redesign their website last year. It turned out pretty nice and modern, because the old design was epically worse than Columbia’s. The new Chicago admission site looks cool too.</p>

<p>That said, it’s nice to see my three most favorite schools in the Top 5. (the other ones being UMich and Stanford)</p>

<p>This comes as no surprise. The media office which connects journalists to professors is a great public asset in terms of disseminating academic knowledge out into the real world, and a huge boon to Chicago’s global reputation. I saw another piece that looked at academic citations in the Economist, NYT, and WSJ, and Harvard, Chicago, and Stanford were ahead by leaps and bounds.</p>

<p>From a post that is said to be the words of the founder came this quote that I found amusing:
