How cut-throat is U of C?

<p>i love UChicago. My visit confirmed something that was very important to me. The students are very helpful to each other. If someone is struggling with calc, well then a math major or someone takes an hour to talk through the problem set. </p>

<p>To me (although i don’t really know much) the important part to stress the the prominence of the “graduate school” mindset. Everything is laid back and tolerant. But when it comes down to the wire people perform at a high level.</p>
