I second ohio_mom.

I applied to the University of Pittsburgh honors college and got a full ride [Chancellor’s Scholarship] there…which I will be turning down to go to UChicago.

The environment of the university overall is of course not like what you’ll find at U of C, but all the honors students I had contact with had great academic/intellectual curiousity.

Also: the support for students wishing to apply for Rhodes, Goldwater, Truman, Udall, etc. is great. And the success rates are very good for a public university.

Just my thoughts… I hope you find what you’re looking for! :-)
