I’m not about going to a school that is stuck on themselves not only throughout the student body but also in administration and faculty…



really now? so you heard some “sentiments” from review books and a couple of current students and then generalized that the entire student body, administration, and faculty are “stuck on themselves?” Perhaps you should take a class on logic.



For instance, why omit an admissions email address on the website??



Because they would actually like to talk to you and help resolve your issues over the phone? I don’t know about you, but whenever some prefers personal interaction like that over something as impersonal as email, I’m actually quite appreciative that they are willing to take the time and effort to make it happen. Maybe you are of a different opinion.



Uh, I guarantee you that this culture doesn’t exist at UChicago.



Wow! One school! Sure makes my whole comment about most schools irrelevant right? Show me one school where this isn’t the case and I can show you ten where it is. So your point is?



Uh…you can transfer.



Quite right, and when you meet your suck up, pretentious colleagues at your new job you are going to quit right? I think you should save yourself the headache and just go to U of C.
