[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are a legacy at my Ivy (think HYP) and flat out decided they preferred the quirkiness and intellectual atmosphere at U Chicago and went ED. I am a very active alum for my college by the way, so I think they would have had a good chance of admission. I disagree with the pp about it being for kids who didn't get into the Ivys. My kids had the scores and top national achievements, but just loved U Chicago.[/quote] Similar situation here. UofC functioned as the anti-Ivy for my double legacy kid with top stats. DC saw it as a more intellectual/less status-driven alternative and applied EA, got accepted, immediately said yes. Re “ROI” (in itself, an anti-intellectal approach to college selection), arts/govt/social service/PhD programs were where most of DC’s friends headed after graduation. [/quote]
