[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are an alum or have a child at Univ of Chicago, can you share your thoughts/experiences.  My DD thinks it’s her “dream school” and I want to learn more about it.  Will be taking her up to visit.  [/quote]

Tell us more about your kid and we can opine on whether it's a dream or a nightmare in the making.[/quote]

She and I know that schools in this tier are a dart throw but something about this school seems to appeal to her.

She is a decent student - mostly A’s, some A minus. Heavy AP courseload. High 1500s SAT scores.

She is not athletic. Not really got any standout long time ECs.

But she gets deeply interested in subjects. Sometimes esoteric ones.  Will randomly choose to go to lectures on topics that she hears about.  Will go to the portrait gallery to walk around “just because”. She is truly undecided on what she wants to major in. She likes and is good at science but also likes languages.  Some interest in neuroscience it seems.  But zero interest in med school. She loves to read. I think she would make a successful tenure track prof at some point.

Socially, she has good friends but not part of a large friend circle. Likes small group activities.  Certainly not in the group of kids that others might want to emulate. I think she is straight but hasn’t really shown an interest in dating. Probably leans liberal but is not a social Justice person.

She loves Boston - she hasn’t spent any time in Chicago so no idea there.

I appreciate everyone who has responded. [/quote]
