Should I turn down Oxford for UChicago?

Objobs, just how do you take a post (from someone who may or may not know anything) that equates Chicago with Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia, MIT, Penn (non-Wharton), and two different schools at Cal, for Wall Street finance jobs, and turn it into a NEGATIVE for Chicago?

<p>Actually, if we’re going to split hairs, Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia and Penn all have stronger Wall Street placement than Chicago. So does Cornell AEM, for that matter.</p>

When hyeonjlee was talking about “state schools”, I don’t think anyone would take that to mean Cal, or Michigan or UVa, either.

<p>Huh? UVa was definitely one of the “state schools” that she was talking about and comparing to Chicago with respect to WS recruiting. Here’s the original post to which she was replying:</p>

Ok, so far I absolutely love what I’ve seen of the university of Chicago, but I (and my parents) recently found it would cost about $225000 to send me there for 4 years. Assuming I got in next year (I just finished my Junior Year) would it be worth the cash? My parents frankly don’t think so compared to in-state Virginia colleges like UVA or William + Mary. Can anyone please give me some honest advice? Thanks in advance.
