<p>Um…I beg to differ. Some CS/math majors WANT the Core. Google has hired a number of folks from UChicago in the past couple of years. There are PLENTY of recruiters who come to Chicago. My S interviewed with many of them. Chicago has qualified for the ICPC the past four years, which has gotten the school more attention. Yes, Chicago leans towards the theory side, but my older S was a math major with serious CS skills and had NO problem with job offers. Is now at a firm that put him in a department that generally does not hire new grads.</p>
<p>He turned down MIT for Chicago. Has had some regrets, but was also very happy with his four years in Chicago.</p>
