[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD sounds similar to yours and is now a junior majoring in a STEM field at UChi. She's completed (as part of the sequence of classes needed for her major) all of the pre-med classes. The grade deflation situation and rigor is real although it is not, as you said, "busy work. Med schools/internship opportunities are aware of the situation at Chicago and take that into account. Kids are nose down a lot of the time as lectures + labs + discussion groups take a lot of time and the problem sets are no joke. She does finds time to work out and "goes out" maybe once a week. She was dead set on UChi, but had she had a slightly less strenuous option she was considering we might have pushed her in that direction knowing what we know now. But then again, she's happy and has found her people and she's definitely being challenged![/quote] I'm curious which school you considered to be "slightly less strenuous" than UChicago.[/quote]
