Prestige of UChicago

Chicago has a shirt that says,“At Harvard, I’d have straight A’s.”

Considering the average GPA at Chicago isn’t all that much lower than at Harvard, I have trouble believing it. Good grades require a lot of work at either university; Chicago students just tend to complain more.

I also have trouble believing that Chicago is all that much more intellectual than Harvard, especially considering that it produces almost exactly the same percentage of PhDs as Harvard, Princeton, and Yale.

Chicago is great, but very, very few would turn down Harvard for it. As Maxxwell said, Harvard offers pretty much everything Chicago does plus some, whereas Williams is a whole different kettle of fish.
