Honestly, I’d consider looking into another career… perhaps consulting. It’s pretty embarrassing to not get into those schools, and with how competitive investment banking is getting these days, I personally wouldn’t waste the time or money for UChicago (a Non-HYP). Good luck!
This might be a serious post because I used to think like this. If your goal is to go into IB, go to UofC. It places very well. It would be a very bad idea to give up UofC to roll the dice for a school where you will get the same outcome.
Bump
UChicago is a terrible outcome. Maybe you're not cut out for this. There's always the Peace Corps.
You DO realize that UChicago is a top 5 school nationally? I don't know if this is a joke post, but we've reached peak prestige whoring if this person is serious.
No one thinks Uchicago is top 5 nationally lol
US NEWS has it at #6 and it has a 6% acceptance rate.
However you want to look at it, it's highly ranked.
Oof, sorry man it’s over for you. Better luck in your next reincarnation.
Really should’ve lied about your race on the application bro.
