UChicago's 20 year ROI on Payscale is just woefully and embarrassingly low compared to its peers, like on the same level as state schools like U Arizona, San Diego State, and the University of Illinois at Chicago. But it's got the highest total cost of any school in the country.

Every ivy and ivy+ (Stanford, Duke, MIT, Caltech) school is about 1.5-2 times as high in terms of ROI.


What percentage of alumns go on to PhDs and intellectual careers that don’t pay banker salaries?


No more than similar schools.

OOS fees are still in the ballpark of many inferior private colleges. Michigan gets top dollar from OOS students because they see it as a good investment. There is no need to bribe students to attend.

I see what you're getting at, but the Maroons' life of the mind comes at a very high cost these days.

Nothing inherently wrong with that! The goal of education should be for students to succeed in learning. Start out with highly competent and motivated students, provide them with excellent teachers, and no one should fail.
