I still have no idea as to where I want to go for my undergrad experience, but I am 99% sure I want to attend the University of Chicago for graduate school, either to pursue a master’s in the social sciences field or to attend the Booth School of Business. That being said, I am wondering if there is any advantage or disadvantage in attending UChicago for undergrad too ( I was admitted EA). I know that at some schools, like UC Berkeley, the faculty encourages students to broaden out and go to other institutions for their Master’s; in fact, I know a current UC Berkeley senior whose academic advisor doesn’t want him to stay at Berkeley. Is UChicago like this?

On a personal level, I’m thinking that it’ll be great to go to different schools in different parts of the country for undergrad and grad, but I know that getting into an academic powerhouse like UChicago for graduate school will be very difficult (esp. Booth). Would going there for undergrad help?!
