[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t understand U Chicago if you think it’s all about ROI.
First and foremost, U Chicago is a university that wants to teach undergraduates how to listen, think critically and make and refute an argument, regardless of area of study. They value academic freedom and critical thinking and every student who graduates has gained this; by comparison, the other Ivy Plus have a lot of trouble with professors and DEI teams pushing ideology. U Chicago does not cancel or suppress thought the way we recently saw at Yale, MIT and Stanford. Totally embarrassing for those schools

In terms of the ROI point, apples to apples majors do very well. Chicago is a core recruiting school for IB and McKinsey and BCG, and the Econ majors do as well as the Ivies. A PP said [b]68% major in social sciences fields or arts... [/b] this probably drives the difference in ROI because these tend to lead to low paying careers or grad school.  By contrast 70% of Harvard went into consulting or investment banking. [/quote]

OP's kid is not in social sciences or in art. Chicago is not a good fit, no matter how you spin it. [/quote]
