<p>Harvard, Yale, and Princeton do not have undergraduate business schools. I doubt there are very many people affiliated with UChicago who want it to become a trade school. However, a more active alumni network would be nice. I picked the university because of its academics, as I didn’t want to go enter college looking only toward the dollar signs at the end of the road, but I don’t plan to become a professor either. I’m sure it will still be possible for me to do what I want; I just won’t have an extensive network of other UChicago alums in key positions to help me get there.</p>
<p>Additionally, as a student reliant on financial aid, I can say that the school needs to drastically improve its policies before it can think of competing with Ivies. It worked out well for me, but I can see how UChicago’s system can leave some students in the cold.</p>
