Funniest

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.

 

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. 

 

Oof, sorry man it’s over for you. Better luck in your next reincarnation.
