[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U Chicago has two goals- give students the ability to think in the context of a broad liberal arts education for the first two years. Then specialize for the second two years and help students achieve outcomes (professions, higher Ed). They are very explicit and purposeful, and with my DCs there I think it’s the best of both worlds. One of the things the students love is they don’t push memorization of content on you, but ask you to think creatively- so in a recent STEM class the professor told the students not to answer if they already knew the answer- instead he wanted kids who did not know the answer to talk about how they would approach the problem and to hypothesize. 
As a side note, my DC is getting asked to interview for internships at top firms even with a GPA lower that 3.7- people know Chicago curves to a B- average.[/quote]

Check out their ROI to see how well their goals work out in real life. If they are so good, so expensive, why are they so mediocre? [/quote]

You can't get into a med school without factoring in ROI, opportunity costs, etc. Full pay undergrad and med schools?  Unless you are flush with cash, no. Even if this were Harvard vs Case, H isn't worth a $100,000 loan.

I think “you” are just a bot programmed to post the ROI comment whenever UChicago is mentioned. Very irritating. [/quote][/quote]
