[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My UChicago kid's a STEM major, headed toward a PhD program.  She's had really good advising both from Career Services and departmental faculty.

FWIW, I think the 38% in business/consulting is a percentage not of the class as a whole but of those who go directly into the workforce after receiving a BA.  UChicago claims 15-20% of its College grads go on to receive PhDs and that that's a higher percentage than any other university's college (in the US?).  https://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/academics/planning/grad-prep[/quote]

I don't think so since law and medicine are clearly separated out. For the last point, I don't believe it's true for recent graduates/alums. UChicago is not even in the top 10 for PhD production per capita any more (https://www.reed.edu/ir/phd.html). It used to be in the top 5 but as the classes become increasingly pre-professional the PhD route is getting less and less popular among students.

UChicago began its marketing strategy around 2013 and had its first post-marketing class graduate in 2017, so an accurate reflection will be noticeable in a few years. [/quote]
