The US news best college rankings, although largely bunk, have UChicago at tied for 6th (a notch down from tied from third last year) and Northwestern at 9th (up from 10th) this year.
Even though there is no practical difference between tied for 3rd and tied for 6th, UChicago had a much higher than average admission yield (77%!) last year, presumably many high school kids/parents are unnecessarily fixated on this ranking.
Needless to say the only other metro with 2 top-ten schools is Boston (unless you count Princeton and New Haven as part of the NY metro...).
