There are other ROI to my “UChicago investment”, but today I will focus on 2) personal branding and 1) self-esteem as a goodStudent/outstandingStudent/.

For years during and after NUS, my self-esteem was tied to EE-DL (Department of E.Engin Dean’s list) and then to FCH (first-class honors degree). However, in hind sight,

  • how about my Engineering faculty book prize? Probably one student per year in the EE department. More unique.
  • UChicago branding has more impact on my self-esteem (and personal branding) than EE-DL + FCH combined. The GPA or class of honors don’t matter in the broad strokes
  • FCH has more impact than EE-DL in the broad strokes
