<p>Motherbear:</p>
<p>All I can say is that, of late certainly, UChicago seems keenly interested in where it places in the market. Certainly when I was there, this wasn’t the case. Now that it is (and now that the school is competing more aggressively with students considering many, many options) it’s worth presenting critiques and as much information as possible.</p>
<p>Again, my UChicago experience - especially in terms of the education - was fundamentally transformative. It’s a world class institution, and I’m willing to boast about the academic opportunities until the cows come home. </p>
<p>At the same time, there are other facets of the school worthy of close scrutiny. I still think there are key areas where the school needs to improve, and prospective students need to be cognizant of these areas. If the administration is focusing on this, students certainly should be. I still think Dean Boyer sets the tone for where the College wants to go, and, to get there, lots more difficult questions need to be asked.</p>
