[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dp- Don’t know about UChicago but alums do very well for themselves anecdotally. And Northwestern is flush with recent big name alums, especially in media and the arts. Not sure what your point is, to the unhappy and jealous PP above…[/quote]

Have you checked Chicago ROI?   It’s pretty low, around $60,000.  It’s about a few thousands more than UVA - but at a hefty price tag. No thanks. [/quote]
Measuring ROI solely by salary is stupid.[/quote]

Oh, is that what’s going on here? So PP is saying 60K is the average starting salary of a (recent?) UofC grad? Couldn’t figure out what it meant to express ROI as anything other than a percentage. Cracks me up how people who are obsessed with ROI don’t even know how to calculate it. And, of course, even if you believe ROI is the/an appropriate metric for choosing a college, then averages don’t matter — you care about what you’re actually investing and what kind of career DC is likely to embark upon. That’s before we even get to the point about salary not being the only return.[/quote]

You are rambling without telling us what exactly are you are getting for some $80,000+ a year, if not ROI?  [/quote]
