[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Earlier in the thread it was predicted the crazy anti U of C would show up.

Who hurt you so?[/quote]

You do realize there are multiple posters commenting on very different stuff? Why do you feel so butthurt when we voice our opinions on U of C? [/quote]

Of course - but the particular dolt who always shows up with the silly ROI argument has been exposed on this website and others for its rants.  An agenda well beyond chiming in.[/quote]

I'm not the ROI poster, and I don't care who that person is. It's a valid concern when you're doing your college search. U of Chi may be good for academia but it's just not the stellar pre-professional pipeline that many kids are looking (as some parents have peddled) nor does it offer an equivalent level of prestige the ivies, MIT, or Stanford are offering if you are the kind of person looking to boast around your coworkers and neighbors. This is just the caveat emptor and I'm sure just about every school has one. Nobody (maybe except UVA boosters on DCUM) reacted as strongly as U of Chi grads/parents when we bring in those opinions. Chicago is strong on its own and I'm sure it'll do just fine. This level of sensitivity just shows a lot of insecurity on your end. [/quote]

The problem with the ROI poster is that the stats were self-reported nonsense.  Many critiques are justified.  That one was not but the poster with the agenda keeps it up.[/quote]

But the Georgetown ROI report with data from the US Department of Education's College Scorecard also puts Chicago right below most of its peer institutions (with aid included). The two aren't that far off. [/quote]
