<p>Chicago is one of the most prestigious universities in this nation as well as in the world. Among those most prestigious, there is still difference, HYPMS is one significant group. Chicago’s prestige is getting closer to this group and will catch up with them in next 10 to 20 years if Chicago could keep the current pace. Last year Chicago’s ~13% admit rate is lower than Cornell and a bit higher than Upenn. I am sure for next year Chicago’s admit rate will be lower than both Upenn and Cornell, possibly lower than Dartmouth. Also, Chicago will stay at #4 place in U.S. News & World Report for next a few years.</p>
