[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UChicago needs to scrap its ED and go back to its original status as a niche school for kids who enjoy that level of academic/intellectual intensity. [/quote]

No, they need the $95k private school kids and the top ones aren't applying.

Honest question: why do you hate UChicago so much?

My top 10 percent, NMSF, 1590 SAT kid is excited about attending. UChicago was always the top choice. Loved writing the quirky essay. Their older friends, who are at UChicago now, went there with similar stats and love it. It’s a hard school for non-business Econ majors. No grade inflation. [/quote]

I am sorta fascinated by the UChicago hater. S/he has a level of personal vendetta that goes above and beyond. Truly curious to understand this person's motivation.[/quote]

The UChicago cured me of hating Northwestern.

Northwestern is a great university with great classes, but it was sometimes just so mean. The Kellogg people I met while doing a group project were so arrogant and stupid. Simply trying to figure out whether I should get a measles booster was a bureaucratic nightmare. I feel rage when I get a fundraising request from Northwestern

But I would be furious if someone trashed Northwestern the stupid way people here trash UChicago and Columbia. It’s so mean and unfair, and probably, in my opinion, part of the Trumpie attack on higher education. I want to hate Northwestern for my own reasons, but I don’t want to see the  Trumpies tearing it down as part of their effort to destroy America. [/quote]

I hated my experience at Northwestern too but I agree with you about not liking it when it’s trashed. Not having a positive opinion or experience with a certain school doesn’t mean that it’s not quality. [/quote]
