[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UChicago is the superior school, by a matter of magnitudes.[/quote]

Because US News told you so? Wake is an stellar school, with far superior weather and 1000x safer surroundings than the Chicago warzone UofC is in.[/quote]

Yes, but also because of the number of Nobel laureates in UChicago (at least 94) compared with 0 (?) in Wake Forest.  [/quote]

I hate hearing parents talkginna iut Nobel laureates. You know that in academics, they don’t give you the award until like at least ten years after your significant work. These laureates are old and non teaching. When they reached, they don’t teach intro classes.

And Chicago is better? Why the ranking said so?

Oh yeah, economics. Well, only the ftad program mattered.

So go to Wake Forest, have a good time and if you have beef left in you, go to graduate school. Otherwise, go enjoy cold, windy, crime centered, and super competitive and needy place called UChicago, because youth is wasted if you don’t spend every minute in studying. [/quote]

Chicago has one of the strongest set of social science departments in the world. Economics for undergrads = Top 4. Political science for undergrads = Top 10. Psychology = Top 15.

And regardless of whether they're Nobel Laureates or not, the "big named" professors DO teach at Chicago.

“Top” according to who? Nobody in real life gives a damn about undergrad program ranks. Most people have never even heard of UChicago. You sound like a College Confidential lunatic. High off your own supply, parroting the same pointless talking points for years on end.[/quote]

Um, ok....

Top according to any list of rankings you can find?  I don't care if you don't like Chicago or not, but it is absolutely the case that the College is strong in the social sciences and some people do care about that. [/quote]

There is no evidence anywhere that anyone gives a damn about what rank depts are at the undergrad level. Chicago’s ROI and 10 yr earnings are God awful. [/quote]

No one cares about the NUMBER for a department, sure, but people absolutely do care about the prestige of a department as you can see by other peoples response to this thread. [/quote]

The "best" UChicago undergrad program is economics and nobody is breaking the door down to give all of them 100K-plus bonus job offers. Only the tippy top 3.8-3.0 GPA econ kids with perfectly curated resumes are getting 100K-plus bonus jobs. The rest are getting normal 60K and 65K job offers open to any other college kid at Depaul to UMD to UVA. Same for all the other random depts you claim are top 15 or whatever. Nobody freaking cares.[/quote]
