<li><p>I was merely responding to, and pardon me, but where is the evidence that UChicago gives less aid than Penn or Hopkins? I never implied this in the first place. I said, there is no doubt that the schools aid structure WHEN weaker (varies by applicant) hurts it. In aggregate, Chicago could give very well give more money than Penn or Hopkins on a per capita basis. I have no idea what the precise numbers are. I am merely addressing a fact raised earlier in the discussion about yield vis-à-vis the cross admit schools. At the end of the day, a student and his or her parents only care about their own financial situation. </p></li>
<li><p>Like I said, for some careers. The point has been belabored enough already. If you dont want you kid to go into something like sports management, so be it. </p></li>
<li><p>I don’t buy the fit argument (core vs. electives, urban vs. rural, cold vs. warm, small vs. big, frat vs. non-frat). Even if a school only offers 5K a year over a competitor, I could not really see allowing the preferences of an 18 year old outside of substantive academic or professional ones to add up to 20K over college. All fine and well sending Johnny to Berkeley for engineering, but not just so he can live in California over Philadelphia.</p></li>
