FWIW, I think lots of UChicago kids are intense, but that’s different from competitive (though in an already competitive HS setting maybe that intensity reads as competitiveness).

Yawn.

Dunno what you wrote. Chicago people I've seen in person are very competitive. One of my D's classmates who was the only UChicago bound from her HS was pretty competitive (in good ways). For reasons unknown to me, my D never liked her going back to elementary school. My D is more of a SLAC type who prefers a cooperative type of environment. I get the impression Chicago people are just the opposite. Even behind the keyboards, I can feel that.

Nothing I said was rude (or competitive).

Launch the business school? WTF are you talking about? The Booth School of Business has existed since 1898. It's the 2nd oldest business school in the USA. The MBA program is ranked #1 in USNWR, tied with Harvard. The Economist ranked the MBA program as #2 in the world.

Chicago is launching an UNDERGRAD business college.

MAJOR not college.

Ok, yeah. You're being a pedantic and abrasive nutcase. Instead of acknowledging you didn't know this you're doubling down on being jerk.

No, I’m a different poster, suggesting why the two of you were talking past each other. And “new major” vs “separate college” is an important distinction in a forum where people go for admissions info.

Just not sure why Chicago people are so competitive. I suppose that kind of personalty helps in the competitive world. This world would be different without bipolar types who actually get things moving with their high energy. The downside is the in-your-face rude abrasiveness that you see in people like Trump.

Not sure for undergrad. For law school, Chicago was not really competitive with Harvard, Yale, Stanford or Columbia; was competitive with Michigan, Penn and NYU; and beat Georgetown, Duke and Cornell.

That's what I suspect. But Dartmouth is fun and a Wall Street feeder, so I'm unsure they win that battle.

Because everybody defines fun as you do and everybody wants to work on Wall Street? Honey, you need to get out more.

Seriously. You think spending 4 years in Hanover is fun, when UChicago is a 15 min drive downtown Chicago?

How many serious cross admits can the two schools have? My DC applied to one and wouldn't even consider the other.

I went to Dartmouth for grad school and loved spending 2 years in Hanover. Skiing, biking, hiking all within minutes of campus.

Dude, just say, "Yeah, Chicago isn't for everyone," and move on knowing you've been obscenely well-educated and had had more career success than most people will ever have.

What objection do you have to me posting facts in the face of lies? PP literally said UChicago doesn't have a business school.

Because everyone knows Chicago is known for the business school. You know that. The poster knew that when posted. But u respond as if you never had a gf in your life.
