Ah my dear @Chrchill - you can’t resist putting down your delightful crimson scarf to pick up a shabbier maroon one.
I didn’t want to do this here, but since you opened the door… Here’s some analysis I posted in another thread, looking at Law and Med placement:
Chicago placed 47 at Chicago Law and Yale Law
Harvard placed 81 at Yale Law and Chicago Law
(I haven’t even bothered to look at placement to Harvard Law, Stanford Law, etc. I bet the numbers look even worse for Chicago when you throw HLS and SLS into the mix.)
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”

Do you really think if we expanded the scope to other top 5 law schools and med schools, the picture would look much different?
Again, I’d say Harvard eats Chicago’s lunch here - and maybe even takes dinner, too.
