[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago is happy to be (among other things and not primarily) a back-up plan for Sidwell/NCS/StA students (and, I assume, those from similar prep schools in other major cities) who struck out @ HYPS. They know the kids can handle the workload, they’re likely to be full pay, and UofC is eager to become more socially elite.[/quote]

Pretty much. Which isn't dismissive, it's a fine school—certainly superior to all the flagship public degree mills and far more campus brain power than say Vanderbilt—but anyone expecting it to be some lottery ticket or a mega status symbol like the Ivies, Stanford, and Wharton is a deluded imbecile. Nobody gives a darn about UChicago. It's hilarious how easy it is to rattle an average UChicago parent by pretending you've never heard of their kid's college. You can't imagine an Ivy, Stanford, even Duke or UVA mother getting rattled at such a thing, because they'd just confidently chuckle and move on. While many (most?) UChicago parents become unhinged because they're painfully insecure and status-obsessed strivers.[/quote]

Are you in a neuro linguistic programming class, and the assignment is to see how quickly you can annoy people enough to get us to cuss you out? [/quote]
