[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the things that drives high yield and that hurts U Chicago in the rankings is that they have a program called Odyssey Scholars, which is one of their crowning achievements . It is funded by U Chicago and pays 100% of financial need. They really don’t use Pell Grants, so all the Ivies which emphasize Pell Grants got 7.5% increase in the USNews score, even if the kids are only getting $1000 Chicago got close to zero for the Pell grant score because they pay financial aid privately for the $300K it costs to go to U Chicago. I’d take that any day if I needed financial aid regardless of admission round. So because Pell is heavily weighted in this year’s US News ranking, Chicago fell. They were # 1 in small class sizes and #1 in % of teachers with advanced degrees. [/quote] Any kid eligible for a Pell grant can apply for a pell grant. [/quote]
