Don’t they all…[b]Although DCUM puts emphasis on full pay[/b], kid got combination of aid, grants, and merit. So if u have the GPA, test score, EC’s and essays, go for it and see what happens. [/quote]

I find that DCUM likes to default to the answer of full pay when they are bitter about a school. Kid didn't get in? They didn't get in? Doesn't matter what school. If they want to be snarky about a particular university, they provide the very unhelpful answer of "full pay"[/quote]
Or it's that UChicago is particularly egregious about their prep school adoration. I would be too if I was in their shoes and attempting to make a grueling, rigorous four years for my undergrad students, but it doesn't mean people are wrong when they say the school is looking for students with $. They very heavily lean on early processes for their barbell distribution: they take heavily from questbridge to get their low income students and then reel it in with a "high" ED acceptance rate to bring in prep school money. It is ridiculously difficult to get in ED2, EA, or RD. You know, the processes (other than ED2, they must be butthurt about the idea of being a second choice) where you have to compare financial aid packages and offers.[/quote]
