[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. What is it about U of Chicago that gets so many people worked up on this board? It has only recently come on my radar as we have a rising junior and starting to think about colleges. There seems to be a group out there hell-bent and determined to quickly criticize this school and another group that is equally passionate about letting everyone know how fantastic it is. Is it because it has always had a so-so reputation and only recently come into the limelight?  Other schools do not seem to get people as worked up as this place! Even Harvard and the other Ivy’s ![/quote]

A so so reputation? I’m not one of the crazy uchicago boosters, but that’s hilarious. You must not know that much about academia.[/quote]

Generally I feel a private school is better than a state school. Even with a full tuition scholarship to a state school, I chose a SLAC for my D because I was able to send her there for almost the same price. Even if it were more expensive, I'd choose a SLAC - but there's a limit. If the amount of loan is significant, if I had to refi my mortgage, invade my retirement account, the answere is in the negative.  Chicago is strictly F/A.  If the family income disqualify the OP family from F/A, there is no merit aid at Chicago. Only OP can decide what's best for the student and the family. [/quote]
