<p>A quick look at SAT scores suggests Chicago’s student body to be on par with the schools mentioned here. They are slightly below Harvard and Yale, and slightly better than Stanford. And this from a school where test scores are not weighted so greatly as at other places. This is not an effort to provide a better student body, but primarily to gain a better popular image so as to improve giving. Not a bad thing. The emphasis on the essays, the Core, and Chicago fit, will hopefully continue sending the message that Chicago is different, even if they have a football team.</p>
