University of Chicago


Self Description

October 2001: "The University of Chicago is one of the world's great intellectual communities and centers of learning." http://www-news.uchicago.edu/resources/introduction.html

Third-Party Descriptions

June 2010: "One notable school has managed to maintain the integrity of its grades through an idiosyncratic grading rubric. The University of Chicago Law School grades its students on a scale of 155-186, a system so bizarre that employers are unlikely to try to match it against the 4.0 scale or letter grades used almost everywhere else."
