<p>Yeah, probably unless I get off the Columbia waitlist. I visited the school and really liked it. I just like city atmospheres better than the rural. With regards to ibanking recruitment, I’ve heard repeatedly that even though there’s a little more recruitment at Dartmouth, proportionally more students will apply to the positions, so I think it evens out.</p>
<p>I know prestige/public perception shouldn’t factor into my decision, but I really think that in ~3-4 years, nobody will question UChicago being ranked ahead Stanford or MIT. I looked it up, and as recently as 2008, the acceptance rate was 37%, then 18% in 2010 and now 8.8% in 2013. Who knows what it will be by 2017 (my graduating year)?</p>
