<p>BrownParent, I will definitely take what you said into consideration although I believe your daughter’s reasons for applying to UChicago may have been different than mine. Coming from a low-income family I have often not been able to talk to my relatives about different areas of interest I have (ex. literature, history, numismatics), and I hope that by going to a school with a strong core I will be surrounded by students who have an interest in being well-rounded and I’ll be able to converse with them.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the suggestions so far, and I really like Scripps. I hadn’t realized that there was a college in California with a core! By the way, I am a women but by all means feel free to post all-male schools so this thread can be of use to everyone.</p>
