<p>I really like UChicago, including the intellectual atmosphere of the school and also the city of Chicago's culture, and am thinking about applying early. How is the pre-med advising at the school? I've heard that if you go to a school like Princeton, Columbia, Penn or UofC, the name-brand doesn't play a big role in any sort of GPA adjustment. How is UChicago's med school placement and advising overall? </p>
<p>I'm also considering management consulting as a possible career. How is UofC in this regard? Do all the major firms, namely Mckinsey, Bain and BCG, come to recruit students? I know Chicago is a major hub for consulting. </p>
