<p>alex,
Bad information in # 11. As mony points out, you make no distinction between undergrad and grad in your listing of U Chicago alumni. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Several of those you list did not go to U Chicago for undergrad. I’m not going to search on all of them, but you got at least half of your list wrong. </p>
<p>For Undergrad,</p>
<p>Roger Altman went to Georgetown
David Rubenstein went to Duke
Jon Corzine went to U Illinois
Tom Kalaris went to Dickinson
Phil Purcell went to Holy Cross/Notre Dame
David Rockefeller went to Harvard
John Rogers went to Princeton
Robert Steel went to Duke
Roger Vasey went to U Missouri</p>
<p>bluedog,
Finally, some intelligent commentary without all of the silly partisanship. This should be required reading for all aspiring high schoolers and the international crowd who frequent CC and who regularly trumpet certain schools. Duke and U Chicago are both excellent colleges, can get you where you want to go, and anyone choosing on some of the factors being presented here (prestige, dept rankings, placement rate on Wall Street, etc.) doesn’t intellectually deserve to be at either. They’re different schools and different environments. Both are great for students although they likely appeal to different types. Choose the one that you like better.</p>
