[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS just graduated from Uchicago in CS and Econ, currently looking for work and failing.[/quote]

We went to the summer open house at Chicago last Friday and the admissions director said that 99% of the class was employed or matriculating to graduate school AT GRADUATION this year. 
The admissions director reiterated this several times "not 6 months following graduation, AT graduation, 99% of our graduating seniors knew what they are doing this coming fall."

Is this not truthful?[/quote]

Yes this is a lie. That is way too high![/quote]

Maybe; maybe not. U Chicago is among the top 5 universities in the nation. Great employment/placement/grad school stats. U Chicago & Northwestern are both slightly under-ranked due to their non-coastal locations.[/quote]

Not sure why the need to inflate Chicago’s ranking…as it hasn’t been top 5 for years (was it ever?).  Also, ridiculous to think their location somehow skews their rankings.[/quote]

PP- Also - the job market for new grads is tough, no matter the school.  BTW DH is a northwestern and UC grad.[/quote]
