Opposite from the majority of the response here, I'd go with UChicago if money is not a huge concern. I visited U of C the summer after graduating and it made regret my decision of not applying there when I was a high school senior. I took a look at your thread in the U of C forum and I have to agree with idad's response. The education and social life at UCSD and UChicago are drastically different. At UCSD you're less likely to get small classes like you would if you choose U of C instead, and that means you will likely have to make more effort to connect with faculty for research, rec letters, etc. Social life at UCSD *can* be pretty lacking as many people go home during weekends. I don't know about Chicago's social life though... Lastly, you might want to factor GE into your considerations too. Chicaco's Core is much more difficult than any writing classes here judging from what I learned from my tour guide.
Have you visited both schools?
