[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U Chicago is incredibly difficult in mathematics, economics and econometrics and physics. i can't speak to biology, but to say it is just a social sciences school is wrong.

I can't address whether it's good for premed, because my DC is mathematics, and his best friend is doing Physics. Proof-based math at Chicago is insanely difficult, starting with the 16000 series and IBL,and getting worse from there. Economic Analysis is also proof-based, as is Investments.

If you're going to assert something, at U Chicago you need to provide the rigorous evidence or you get torn apart- so I am waiting to hear the evidence.[/quote]

What is the end goal of all this?  Their outcome is consistently mediocre. If that's the boosters' end goal, why bother with all this, only to end up in the same place as as many solid 2nd and 3rd tier university grads?  That's assuming they survived all the shootings in Chicago.  [/quote]

What is the "outcome" that is mediocre at UChicago? If you're talking salary, you're probably this same person harping on about ROI. If the I (investment) is the tuition, then the R (returns) is the education. Sure, salary is important, but you go to college for an education. If the I is tuition, and the R is an education, I'd say the R at UChicago is great. Some people just don't agree that college is about education--totally your call.[/quote]

Not sure what education UChicago offers that's so different from Case. It's all the same material. And during the pandemics, UChicago went online. [/quote]
