<p>Phuriku - there may be some Chicago students who chose the U of C over HYPSM, but there are probably very few. I do alum interviews for the U of C, and the admissions rep for my area told me that Chicago loses about 97% of its cross-admits with Yale and 98% of its cross-admits with Harvard. I think Chicago would probably lose about the same percentage to MIT as well. </p>
<p>Generally, HYPSM is a cut above.</p>
