| My dad wrote a very polite letter simply highlighting the new information that we had, and also mentioning that the cost of living where we live stretches our income farther than it would in other parts of the country. Going on advice from a financial aid officer at a local college, he also mentioned the lack of value in any of our assets; we spend the bare minimum in terms of luxuries, drive a crappy car, and will be willing to put whatever money my parents make outside of necessities towards my education. I'm not sure if any of it will help, but I've been told that they take into consideration cost of living only if you ask them to. While I'm trying very hard to afford UChicago, can anyone possibly point me in the direction of a source of information that could tell me how much I can expect to make as a graduate in poli sci or econ and what a reasonable amount of debt to assume is? |
