Here are a couple of threads (heated at times) about Chicago math and other top math programs:

Strong UnderGrad Math Departments - College Search & Selection - College Confidential Forums;

I understand Chicago has always been VERY highly rated for physics, but perhaps if there’s a physics major lurking about, she/he can post some info.

Chicago really looks at the essays. If you get a chance to visit, S (a current first-year math major) recommends sitting in on a HUM/SOSC class to get a sense of the Core.
