2007 admission stats for enrolled students:

Chicago
SAT 1350-1510 (uchicago website)
SAT 1330-1530 (collegeboard)
ACT 28-33
Admit rate 34.7%

Northwestern
SAT 1350-1520
ACT 30-34
Admit rate 26.8%

I don’t know about you, but these two schools look pretty even to me. NU seems to have slightly higher ACT on lower end. But, U of C’s high end score of 33 is right there with NU’s ACT of 34. SATs look nearly identical. NU’s admit rate is only 7.9% lower than U of C. But, this is probably due to the fact that NU uses common app and U of C doesn’t, therefore resulting in way more applicants for NU. Remember that NU did not switch to common app until last year. Just a couple of years ago, NU’s admit rate was over 30%. (before switching to common app)
