I really hope this isn't true about Chicago.

This obviously falls into the urban legend category:

While there may be a few students per class with a 3.9 GPA at Chicago, there aren’t dozens of them, and they aren’t all signing up in droves to interview with the same PR firm at a job fair.

There is no such thing as a “Social Sciences” major at Chicago. Social Sciences is a whole division of the college, and the sponsor of SOSC and CIV sequences in the Core, as well as some other interdisciplinary electives.
