<p>Ohhh… University of Chicago. Do I get instate tuition?</p>

The day 2+2 = 5. Or did you want me to tell you more about how I think it’s amazing that you can get a 2300 *and<a href=“gasp!”>/i</a> “party” at the same time. I also don’t understand how you’re a “fan” of the Chicago School of Economics. That’s like someone saying they’re a fan of geometry. Were you stimulated by Capitalism and Freedom? By Sowell? Are you a fan of Fama?</p>
<p>On a more serious and less sarcastic note, I think you’ll be disappointed if economics, by itself, is the reason you go to Chicago over, say, Princeton or Harvard (if even you get the opportunity to make this choice). After a point, the number of Nobel Laureates on campus stops mattering, and all peer universities have that critical mass…</p>

That’s equally pretentious, for an undergrad. If you’re asked where you’re studying you just say it. If you don’t tell someone that just makes clear that you think “it’s going to create distance” which creates even more distance. None of the kids I know at these schools do that at an undergrad level.</p>
<p>My Dad, who went to Harvard for grad school, when asked, says that he went to Virginia Tech. It’s true. There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to say, but when you don’t have anything else to say, it’s somewhat odd.</p>
<p>This is all assuming that they are asked the question in the first place. If they are not it’s moot.</p>
