[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of people who think highly of UofC did so long before the USNWR ranking.  Basically, it’s a great school for kids who love academics, don’t mind hard work, and aren’t status-obsessed.  Probably not the best choice for a kid who wants a more traditional American college experience (sports/frats/partying) or sees college as more about networking and credentialing than about learning.

I would disagree on the networking and credentialing. Say you went to U of C and you're instantly pegged as very smart (true or not). The networking aspect is alive and well especially in a place like DC. [/quote]

Honestly, if you went to Chicago for undergraduate you are still likely to be pegged as an egghead (smart but not very practical or blessed with social skills), although the student profile has changed quite a bit.  It really does get a much higher percentage of students now who just missed out on HYP/Penn/Columbia.   [/quote]
