“UChicago is actually much less known for its pre-med and physics than it is for its economics and social sciences department.”</p>
<p>For the record, UChicago boasts an amazing physics department which is ranked #3 in Graduate School Rankings (irrelevant to undergrad education but this shows the strength of the department). It produced many famous physicists such as Edwin Hubble, Carl Sagan, James W.R. Cronin and many others and is linked with Fermi Lab and Argonne Laboratory.</p>
