<p>I was just wondering where students land after UofC…All the alumni vebsite require a password and a login to see past alumn so the college doesn’t boast the achievements of their college alumns except for those noble laureates. So who lands in HYP’s for Grad school, who goes away to england or any other country? Who gets a top manangerial work? DO u know a lot of those who were unsuccessful?</p>

<p>hey, I’m no expert in this field, but can you say:</p>

<p>---------------SIX FIGURES--------------</p>

<p>(GO ECON)</p>

<p>i was hoping for 7</p>

<p>edit: or 8</p>

<p>I hope you’re not really in it for the money. That’s probably not a good reason to come to Chicago.</p>

<p>That said, I’m graduating in a week and will be moving out to California to work at an internet startup with some other people from Chicago.</p>

<p>NOTABLE STATISTICS:
80% of 2004 graduates indicated that they were accepted to the graduate school of their first choice.</p>

<p>The U of C (14%), Teach For America (3%), JP Morgan (2%) and the Peace Corps (2%) employed the most number of Chicago graduates.</p>

<p>Teach for America, a very competitive post-undergrad option, accepted 38 percent of U of C applicants. According to the Chicago Maroon, “Teach for America regards the University of Chicago as an “A Tier” school, giving the University a premium amount of attention. In 2003, the University of Chicago’s acceptance rate was above the following “A Tier” schools: Brown, Notre Dame, Washington University, Georgetown, and Columbia. But the University was below Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and Northwestern.”</p>

<p>The Management Myth</p>

<p>Most of management theory is inane, writes our correspondent, the founder of a consulting firm. If you want to succeed in business, don’t get an M.B.A. Study philosophy instead.</p>

<p>

Are you kidding me? I am going Chicago Econ. for the money.</p>

14

<p>Then you’ll probably have a very frustrating four years here, sorry to say.</p>

15

<p>Well atleast I won’t have a frustrating rest of my life.</p>

16

<p>“Well atleast I won’t have a frustrating rest of my life.”</p>

<p>Sounds good. for frustrating time, the shorter, the better, I guess. For Econ or Business studies, money is the key word. I say this for a fact.</p>

<p>Just like nothing shame of being on par with ivies, nothing shame of going Econ/Business for money. UChicago has great professional schools too, don’t tell me people going there for “pure study” (no money talk), atleast those who recruiting MBA/Med/Law candicates won’t tell me this.</p>

17

<p>Money is not my primary reason for wanting to study at Chicago, but I doubt I’ll have a problem being an Eco + Math major. IBanking all the way! Lets get them gray hairs while we’re still youn!</p>

18

<p>biztogo,</p>

<p>The professional schools have a very different character from the rest of the University, especially the College. Although it’s rarely billed as such, I believe the College is an exemplar of the liberal arts tradition.</p>

19

<p>Perhaps you should be aware that econ dept would be the exception within the College. The econ crowd at UChicago is probably just as preprofessional as anybody. One of my friends would have gone there had he not got into Wharton. I knew someone from Hong Kong who went there thinking he would make good moeny after graduation. Like biztogo said, there’s nothing wrong with that.</p>

20

<p>yeah I know of a few people who decided to go to Chicago instead of Wharton and also people who did it the other way… and all very money-driven. Nevertheless, you will find people who aren’t in it for the money in these departments… like me. I hope to pursue graduate study in education policy, and then go work in the public sector… and surely there ain’t too much money there.</p>
