University of Chicago

Located in the heart of one of the world’s great cities, the University of Chicago is a private research university, which means it receives funding from tuition, grants, and donations from alumni. Since it’s not funded by public money or dependent on state contributions, the University of Chicago can offer higher salaries to its faculty members than many other universities. This helps attract top-notch researchers who are also exceptional teachers. The student-faculty ratio at this school is 6:1, so you’ll be in a class with fewer than six other students for every teacher (typically one professor and several teaching assistants).

The university does not have a football team—students head to nearby Soldier Field to cheer on the Bears—but there are plenty of club sports teams and intramural athletic opportunities if you like playing sports with friends. The university’s mascot is Phoenix (the mythical bird that rises from ashes), which fits given that fire destroyed all but one building on campus back in 1871.

If you decide to attend UChicago after being admitted as an incoming freshman, you may very well be surrounded by Nobel Prize winners during your college years. The University of Chicago has churned out 92 Nobel laureates since 1901—way more than any other American university.

Cornell University

Cornell University, is a private and statutory Ivy League research university in Ithaca, New York. Founded in 1865 by Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White, the university was intended to teach and make contributions in all fields of knowledge—from the classics to the sciences, and from the theoretical to the applied. These ideals, unconventional for the time, are captured in Cornell’s founding principle, a popular 1868 Ezra Cornell quotation: “I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.”

Princeton University

Princeton University is a private Ivy League research university in Princeton, New Jersey. Founded in 1746 in Elizabeth as the College of New Jersey, Princeton is the fourth-oldest institution of higher education in the United States and one of the nine colonial colleges chartered before the American Revolution. The institution moved to Newark in 1747, then to the current site nine years later, and renamed itself Princeton University in 1896.
In addition to being considered as one of the world’s leading universities, Princeton has been ranked: first among all U.S., Canadian, European and Asian universities by Global University Ranking (CUGUR) based on academic performance; tenth among all U.S., Canadian, British and Australian institutions by QS World University Rankings; twelfth worldwide by Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) for number of alumni who have won Nobel Prizes or Fields Medals; thirteenth among national universities by U.S. News & World Report (tied with Caltech); twenty-eighth globally by Times Higher Education World University Rankings; and nineteenth worldwide for graduate employability by QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2016/17.
According to a 2015 Forbes survey conducted by Americas Market Intelligence “Princeton is first in real estate value thanks to its stunningly beautiful campus” adding that “the school also boasts one of top endowments per student at $2 million,” and that “The size of its classes ranks third best among national universities: The average freshman class boasts 516 students.”

Stanford University

Stanford University has an acceptance rate of 5%, making it one of the most selective institutions in the United States. In the graph above, the blue and green dots represent accepted students with grades and test scores within Stanford’s ranges for those who were admitted (the blue dots) or not admitted (the green dots). You can see that most accepted students had grades in the “A” range, SAT scores (RW+M) above 1200 and ACT composite scores over 25.

As you can see, competitive applicants typically have grades up through high school that are at least mostly As. While straight A’s are not required for admission, there are very few B’s mixed in with the stronger grades.

On standardized tests, competitive applicants will typically be within about 200 points on each section of either the SAT (Critical Reading and Math) or ACT composite score above 25. For example, a student who scored 1400 on his or her SAT Critical Reading section and 700 on his or her Math section would have a combined score of 2100. Another student might have scored 30 on his or her ACT composite score with a 30 on all four sections. Both students would have a strong chance of being admitted to Stanford University.

Vanderbilt University

According to Vanderbilt University, Vanderbilt has an acceptance rate of only 9.2%. A college degree from Vanderbilt is highly regarded. Students from all 50 states and over 100 foreign countries apply each year, according to the official website.

Vanderbilt University is a private research university located in Nashville, Tennessee.
