<p>McKinsey used to recruit at the undergraduate level here. It stopped because not enough students were going back for full-time positions after graduation. That just shows you how intellectual the student body here really is - intellectual enough to turn down McKinsey for something more meaningful. If you don’t know something that well, don’t try to act like you do, or else you would just shoot yourself in the foot in front of everyone on this board.</p>
<p>And don’t implicitly question the employability of UChicago students. I think you responded to a thread I started a couple months back about UChicago alumni’s employment success post-graduation.</p>
<p>Actually being a student here, I see first-hand that the economics majors at this honorable institution tend to be more academic and intellectual than those at other places. The prospective student (majoring in economics) I hosted last year was deciding between full-rides from Duke and UChicago, and he chose UChicago. He wants to pursue a career in academia, and when he was making that decision, he knew that UChicago is the perfect place for that. Based on what I have witnessed, there are hundreds of other students here who chose this school to ponder big questions and pursue careers in academia.</p>
