[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I get some clarity about UChicago?  Have a current junior who is interested.

I know they really care about taking kids early and RD is basically out.

Since we're hoping to chase merit a little, we'd love to do EA but does anyone know if this makes chances of admissions much much harder. Are there stats for this.  A lot of bias out there from parents how say "deferred EA - would have likely gotten in if we did ED", but looking at A2C, kids are getting in both ED and EA. Looks like all deferred kids are asked/pushed to do ED2.

UChicago does not have much merit aid. According to their CDS, [b]16% of freshmen received non-need based merit aid [/b]averaging $14,000 (a drop in the bucket with a $85K+ price tag)[/quote]

I don't know much about UChicago, but I always thought that the high ranked schools that give non-need based merit aid are basically offering it to athletes as an incentive to come. True or no? [/quote]

Interesting - hadn't made that connection. Know a frosh athlete there now - could've easily been full pay, but was offered merit aid. Guessing that may have been reason.[/quote]
