<p>I got a U Chicago t-shirt in the mail today. Sure was nice of them. I have not applied or anything else. I have to admit that I am thinking about applying now. Anyone else get one?</p>
<p>Yeah I got one today too.</p>
<p>Chicago doesn’t break top 5 in most rankings, but it is #1 by a mile in sending the most spam mail.</p>
<p>Actually, at least in my region, that honor goes to Wash U (nothing against the school, I have a friend that loves it there). As for the ranking thing, Chicago seems to firmly be entrenched in the top 5-9 zone lately. For people that don’t subscribe to the perception of there being some sort of exponential decrease in quality (as seems to be the prevalent view in CC), such is not too shabby. </p>
<p>Anyway, at the risk of being recognized and denounced on campus, please don’t let the free stuff sway you. Apply only if you could truly see yourself at U Chicago, because if not, then you’ll be wasting that fee money and possibly taking the spot of an applicant who had U Chicago set in his/her heart.</p>
