I understand this is an old thread. I am reactivating this topic with the hope that no one would mind because I am wondering if UChicago has made any further fundamental changes to shape the “New UChicago” since Cue7 started this classic thread.

My belief is that at the core, Chicago is still the intellectual powerhouse it has always been since the beginning of the founding years. The apparent change for the better is just that the University has made noticeable improvement on the College level such that the undergraduate students are enjoying the “Life of the Mind” in a more pleasant way. Due to such change, in addition to the rise of ranking of Chicago, people in the “market”, all of a sudden, are paying attention.

I’d like to hear what JHS and Cue7 et al have to say.
