<p>If you’re looking for prestige in the upper ranks, Chicago’s probably got a bit of ground on Dartmouth. Chicago has a top 5 law and business school, both of which are renowned for their rigor and well-known among the elite class. Most top employers already view Chicago as being on par with HYP, and some employers even respect it more than HYP because of its truly rigorous academics. </p>
<p>Really the only thing that has changed over the last 5 years is the fact that Chicago is catching more and more of the attention of the general population, and Chicago’s career services have basically catapulted the University into being a monster at producing extremely-qualified business-oriented talent. Apparently, Goldman Sachs hired more people from UChicago last year than from another university, and I wouldn’t be surprised if other top consulting firms and investment banks did likewise.</p>
