<p>yes. JHS put it right. U Chicago is finally catching up with its peers to provide pre professional support, which is way overdue. The life of the mind philosophy should not be confined to academic careers in ivory towers. Wouldn’t you want more politicians with a bit of this leaning and less of the demagoguery?</p>
<p>One thing, though: i think the “only single point of entry” policy for CCIB is way too limiting (meaning, if you don’t join in the fall of the second year, you can’t join later, period). I agree with drdom on this one. Kids are exploring options. Not everyone knew exactly what they wanted to do when they started their first year and created enough material during the first year to convince the program administrator to admit him/her into the program in the fall of the second year. There should be more flexibility for the 3rd and even 4th year students with a program curtailed from the full 3 year version.</p>
