This is an interesting thread. I always had the impression that UIC is way better that UChicago...
As a Chicago PhD, I feel disgusted when people mistake us for UIC graduates.

If you were a physicist or something I could tolerate your attitude (although in that case you wouldnt have this attitude). But you are an economist - a pseudo-scientist whose 'research' provides zero value to society and to humanity's understanding of the world. You are no better than an assistant professor at Middlesex College and you are worse than a STEM professor at Seattle U.
Yes, thats right, you arent elite after all and you never were.

It's funny because this is the opposite of reality.
Someday, when you get tired of making tons of assumptions to build a math model and then estimate it by doing reg y x, and then you decide to go to industry, you will figure out that even the CS/statistics undergrad from UIC can get a better job than you do. This is how the real world works: nobody cares about where you are coming from, but they do care about what you can do.

Seeing the amount of hate UChicago has generated, I can summarize the following: public school fanboys loving shieting on elite private schools and most people here are public school fanboys.
Why are Chicago grads so insecure?
Rational choice theory is tautological nonsense and they know it, afraid they'll get found out some day
