[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember the reputation of U Chicago in the 80's before they upped their marketing.  It was for really intellectual kids, and not a party school.  Since they're marketing to go-getters, I wonder if it's less intellectual now.  [/quote]
I attended the University of Chicago in the 80s, and then worked there from 2011 to 2016, much of my job involving interaction with undergraduates. It still has a good-sized contingent of intellectual geeks (no shade, I was/am one!), probably at a higher percent than many of the other schools it is ranked near, but yeah, there's definitely a much more noticeable culture of pre-professional-minded students who are there not necessarily because they wanted UChicago, but because they see the rankings and consider it an avenue to Wall Street or top med/law/etc. schools.

It’s not an easy path into top med and law schools though is it? Since it’s nearly impossible to get an ‘A’ in many of the classes, whereas A’s are given out like candy at other schools? [/quote]
