I really hope this isn't true about Chicago.

The poster simply doesn’t like Chicago’s “theory over practice” philosophy and seems to be inventing a world to fit his/her view.

There are some pompous and some socially inept students at UChicago, just as there are at all elite universities. But most of them communicate very well–the small, discussion-based core classes promote learning to think and to express those thoughts in words and on paper.

Also, UChicago advisors start helping their students with resumes during their first year and they continue to develop them throughout their time at school. The part of the post that says they have no instruction is silly. (corranged got to this point first–and says it better!)
