Very interesting recent comments of a UChicago student

On the great pop-up debate I would hazard the guess that someone in Admissions made the assumption that most people clicking on the UChicago cc forum were demonstrating some level of interest in UChicago and might want more info. Historically, the place was a well-kept secret, something Nondorf and company decided to change a few years ago, not entirely to the liking of this particular alum. However, to the extent that the pop-up faithfully guides any interested parent or potential student to more accurate information about the school’s culture than merely where it appears in the rankings and other prestige-odometers, well, that’s worthwhile.

Of course, not everyone who visits the Chicago forum wants to know more about the place. Quite the contrary in some cases. So it goes.
