Very interesting recent comments of a UChicago student

It’s not unlike the way “IHTFP” is bandied about with pride at MIT.

I was thinking the same thing. I think that both MIT and Chicago (and Caltech and probably Harvey Mudd) are only a good fit for students who know that they want to work that hard for four years. Do you want the challenge?

Now, 50 years later, there is one thing that I learned at MIT that did not occur to me at the time and that I think applies just as much to U.Chicago: I learned that I could do it.

Today, with the Internet, students are far more likely to be going into this with their eyes wide open, and with at least some idea of what they are signing up for.

And yes, U.Chicago is a fit school. So is MIT.
