All close to $90K and almost no merit aid.  You're either poor or you have (and are willing to spend) $400K for undergrad.  [/quote]
University of Chicago is quite socioeconomically diverse, relative to other T50 private schools. [/quote]
I think people really underestimate how generous the financial aid is at some of these schools! We are no where near poor - HHI of $160-180k depending on bonuses - and received enough financial aid from U Chicago to make it price comparable to our state school (Maryland). [/quote]

this is the most eye-opening, useful thing I've learned on the forums recently. Our HHI is about the same ($160-180 depending on the year), we have two kids in elementary, and all of a sudden I feel much less stressed about the future. [/quote]

Except your kid has to get into Chicago. Easier said than done. Make sure you throw out the screens, have them reading and doing math 3-5 hrs a day, learning a third language, truly developing as a top scholar, etc. Or be good enough to be a sport recruit (also really hard depending on your genetic makeup).
