@Chrchill - I don’t believe Chicago’s placement is “substantially equal to or better than any school.” Let’s look at law, for a moment:
Chicago placed 47 at Chicago Law and Yale Law
Harvard placed 81 at Yale Law and Chicago Law
Let’s look at, say, Johns Hopkins Med:
Chicago placed 8 students at Hopkins Med
Harvard placed 46 students at Hopkins Med
That’s not “substantially equal to or better”

You think if we expanded this out to top 5 law schools and top 10 med schools it’d look any different? Also, we haven’t even looked at the places (like Harvard Law and Harvard Med) that love Harvard undergrads.
Please. Keep your crimson scarf on. In terms of strength of classes by the metrics that matter most (outcomes, not small disparities in SAT scores), Harvard still eats Chicago’s lunch.
