[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason I don’t like Chicago anymore is because it’s changed more than other colleges in terms of size, student population, and admissions/marketing. At some point they realized they needed a larger undergrad body so they changed who and how they recruit, fundamentally changing the vibe. It used to be quirky and definitely NOT preprofessional and didn’t play the ED games. Now it seems like a school whose admissions policy is based on their right wing free market b-school bros. It actually used to be a place where- for real- people let their freak flag fly, muttering and thinking and nerding out together. When my kid toured recently it was not at all like that and it made me sad. He didn’t apply, and I don’t have love for my alma mater and won’t suggest my two other kids apply either. Too bad.

This sounds like a change for the better tbh. [/quote]
In a really boring way i guess. There’s very few colleges these days that aren’t filled with pre professional snobs who don’t really care about getting a degree.[/quote]

Lower-tier SLACs. Which are dying on the vine. With all due respect, hanging onto the "quirky" non-preprofessional model in today's world would have driven Chicago into the ground a lot faster than taking on debt to build nice new dorms.[/quote]
