<p>what is most important for uchi’s admission department is the fact that so few of their acceptances actually choose to enroll at the school. the yield indicates that the most elite students choose to attend other schools rather than uchi. with such a low yield, i imagine that it is uchi that is envious of the other schools regardless of whether their programs are more or less highly regarded than the programs offered by uchi. in fact, it would be more troubling to uchi that even with a suposedly superior program, students flock to the other schools rather than attend uchi. this leaves uchi with enrollees comprising of students that, although not all, for the most part are not ivy quality. when i say ivy quality, i mean those who realistically have a chance of acceptance to the elite schools. i’m sure that someone will say that they know the friend of a friends s or d who had a friend that chose uchi over an ivy, but that is one uchi success story against a backdrop of 34% yield and is the exception and not the rule. also that person probably was paid by uchi to attend. </p>
<p>michaelburt: last i checked there were 8 ivies. i also commend you for being able to break free from your peer confines to realize that uchi is a wonderful first choice for you. also, just because your townie friends have never heard of uchi, does not mean that uchi is obscure. it is a very well respected institiution. yet, to say that noone cares about an ivy pedigree in the employment world is naive and you will mature to understand that. in fact, if you don’t raise the bucks to get into uchi, and ultimately end up at street corner U, you will find out very quickly the difference in the school you attend when you visit the career services office. there’s a big difference between goldman and day manager at mickyd’s.</p>
