[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, [b]and aren’t status-obsessed[/b].  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.

This is bullshit. If the school isn't status obsessed why are they so obsessed with goosing their apps? Why do they shamelessly lie to prospies saying ACT/SAT doesn't matter? Why do they mail every senior in the US 10 pounds of glossy material, hats, shirts so they'll apply? Chicago is obsessed with status, obsessed with a higher rank, obsessed with building their brand. Lame ass college that lost it's niche. Full of grubby upper middle class strivers now. Not the Chicago I once knew.[/quote]

Great school for KIDS who aren’t status-obsessed.  I didn’t say anything about administrators, LOL![/quote]
