<p>I know US News isn’t ranking universities as I can see that on their criteria, that’s why I clearly emphasized it on my post. I said, “as a university”. </p>
<p>Even than, I can see that Stanford offers more resources as it is much richer than Chicago. It also is more prestigious, locally or globally. And, as such, are able to attract better students worldwide - both at the undergrad and postgrad levels. Forgive me for saying this, but is there an area where Chicago would beat Stanford? Even in economics which is said to be Chicago’s strengths would hardly compete with Stanford. Students who got offers from both schools almost always choose to go to Stanford, both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.</p>
