[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago is a horrific school that does not support its students but leaves them to flounder in south side Chicago. DO NOT ATTEND! I warned you.[/quote]

Can you be more specific? If you truly want people to be wary, maybe you can share your story. I’m truly curious to hear your take, minus the hysterics.[/quote]
UChicago loves to discuss its rigorous academics (aka total lack of support for students and covering it up with students failing out, which is unacceptable for a private college. It’s so bent on its quirky “academia” emphasis that, unlike other top colleges, lacks professional development opportunities and likes to almost punish students with, yes a great education but you have to actually pass the courses which has become a lot more difficult over time.

It’s not “where the fun goes to die” because it’s hard, but because it likes to push students off a cliff and blame them for their stability.[/quote]

So was this experience specific to your student or is this second or 3rd hand or general rumor? How did they “punish” your student? Were they unable to manage the workload? Did your student not have a positive experience with both their academic advisor and career advisor?[/quote]

So I assume your snowflake either didn't get in or couldn't handle it. My student has flourished at this school surrounded by students and faculty that DO care about them as well as academic pursuits. I don't think UChicago struggles with yield in RD since they accept less than 2% in that round.[/quote]

They absolutely struggle with yield in the RD round. That is why nearly 95% of the class is accepted through the early programs and ED3. [/quote]
