Hi friends,

I got two offers in hand and have to make a decision this week between UPenn and UChicago.

UPenn is an ivy and has Warton, and UPenn ranks 6th.

Feeling UChicago is more selective, and it ranks 3rd this year (usually 4th).

What do you guys think?

I think UChicago would be the better option. Everyone knows it’s super selective and it’s ranked higher. Not only that, it’s got a much smaller class meaning you’ll have some serious exposure and relationship with your professors which goes a long way in future job prospects as they either write reference letters and/or recommend you to their connections. On another note Chicago is a better city too! 

Hey, JAF， thank you so much for your advice!! it is very useful!
