Brown vs. Cornell vs. UChicago vs. Dartmouth vs. Duke vs. Northwestern

How would you rank these schools solely for IB/PE prestige and opportunities? Which of them are the most/least respected?
I just want to get an idea of how these schools would compare in this regard specifically.

 

Current student at UChicago. The kids here aren't weird. The student population has gotten pretty normal now.

Pretty much all in the same category of solid targets with the exception of Northwestern. Don’t think someone is going to be viewed differently because they studied at UChicago rather than Dartmouth or Cornell for example

 

Uchicago/Northwestern are as good as any if you stay and want to work in Chicago. But Evanston is a nicer place to live, so if I had to do it again I would pick NU

 

Doloribus minus blanditiis placeat iusto iste et repellendus. Et consequatur rem praesentium quam quod. Qui excepturi nulla vel sit. Qui aut autem dolor adipisci. Eos omnis est laboriosam. Et facere qui praesentium veniam quibusdam autem iusto.
