Chicago vs Brown

I would say these are the Top 10 in undergraduate education in the US right now: Caltech/Brown (personal preference), Chicago, Columbia, Duke, Harvard, MIT, Penn, Princeton, Stanford and Yale

If you are lucky enough to get into more than one of these, then finding your fit against the following Five C’s becomes really important:

  1. Cost
  2. Curriculum
  3. Career
  4. Community
  5. Culture.

Depending on how you weigh these metrics and how you score these schools on the each of the five C’s, you may arrive at a very different ranking vs some other student. No single ranking can address the needs of all students.
