<p>Phuriku,</p>
<p>were you born and raised in Asia? I was. I have extend family members all over the place. I have colleagues from Asia. My nephew is shopping for a college in USA. I am actually VERY MUCH enamored with U Chicago,and I have been pushing hard for U Chicago. He and his cohorts were not aware of the sterling opportunities available at U Chicago to the same degree that they heard all about the Ivy schools and a couple of public schools like UCLA and Berkeley. U Michigan, No. UVA, no. But somehow, UCLA and Berkely are well known, while other public schools are lagging behind. </p>
<p>The name recognition of U Chicago lags behind U Chicago’s true excellence both domestically and internationally. Yes, well known and admired among educated class,but even there still lags behind what it should be given the outstanding institution it truly is. But that’s OK. No need to be so defensive.</p>
<p>I believe hyeonjlee was voicing the same opinion, and she is a die hard U Chicago fan, and she is also from Asia. Why are you people so hell bent to prove those of us who were actually born and raised there while most people on this board are NOT.</p>
<p>We get it. We love U Chicago, but I don’t like this one sided cheer leader attitude that drowns other people opinions, especially those of us from Asia who are sharing our own direct observations.</p>
<p>This is getting really silly. I will quit now.</p>
