[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people need help. Either your kid didn't get in or you are jealous you didn't go and get a real education at UChicago, but went to a grade inflated HPY where everyone graduates summa cum laude so your snowflake wellbeing could be preserved. Everyone gets a trophy at HPY, no skin in the game but that cat is out of the bag. UChicago is respected because their kids earn their grades, employers know this, versus the nepo baby Ivies.

Chicago parent. It's a hard school. The core is hard, the major requirements go far beyond what we saw at Ivies, and the quarter system can be brutal. However the admissions team is assessing applicants, they do a decent job, because by and large all the kids seem to be smart and capable of doing the work. I also dislike their ED practices, and don't dispute that they should be called out for it. Both these things can be simultaneously true. But the person/people claiming that the peer group is poor, or that kids should be ashamed of attending, either have a very bad case of sour grapes, or some unknown and unwarranted anger against this particular school. It's an excellent education with very strong employment outcomes.[/quote]
