<p>The university is changing, not as drastically as some might bemoan, but it is. A lot of people welcome those changes, but it’s inevitable that others will decide that the new U of C is not for them. I’m sorry if I came off as too argumentative intparent, I sincerely wish your daughter the best with this whole process, even if that means that the University of Chicago is not be the best option for her. You really should be careful, though, with what fanatics of other schools say about the University of Chicago. Relying on the posts of sometimes jealous fanatics of UChicago’s peers is definitely not the most reliable or scientific way to get to know the school…As for the swag…well, let’s just say that I’ve made a lot more use of the scarf UChicago sent me than another school’s Likely Letter. If they’re going to butter me up, might as well be with something useful.</p>
