The article says students remembered hearing a similar statistic when deciding to attend UC, they felt confident because the outcomes were that strong. A flashy statistic. Used in aggressive admissions marketing. Families rely on these numbers when deciding whether to buy a very expensive educational product. It’s getting very close to consumer fraud territory.

Are you full-pay, and your DC did not land a job after graduation? Is that why you are so bitter? My condolences if that is the case. Otherwise, it is hard to understand the level of anger here.

NP - What’s hard to understand is why the UChicago boosters turn a blind eye to these practices. The critics are actual UChicago students (not the loathsome “Emory Mom”).

If you don't like the school, don't apply to UChicago! As simple as that.
