<p>‘about 30-40% of those going to grad school at Chicago choose the PhD, and at the other schools, it’s more like 10-20%’</p>
<p>To be specific, 15% of Chicago grads eventually go on to earn PhDs, which is a very high rate indeed.</p>
<p>What is the point of comparing these schools? Going to Chicago just because you think it would be a stepping stone for a prestigious finance job could cause you to have a very miserable college experience.</p>
<p>edit: Does it need support? Isn’t Chicago’s brand as a “life of the mind” institution not established enough? </p>
