<p>ohio_mom: yes i am a citizen and i will be applying for tons of financial aid. my family and i definetely qualify for many of the aid.</p>
<p>MBP: thanks! i’m sure that you have a very good chance of getting in also. and like many have said here before, this school focuses more on the person and if you show them how passionate you are about UofC im sure you can do it! :)</p>
<p>I will be applying a few Ivies and not so much for the name, but because I really am interested in attending. I love Yale! 
probably my top pick. I also like UPenn for business and Columbia because it’s in NYC. As far as U of C goes, until I started getting their info in the mail, i didnt know much about it but now i fell like it is a place where i could definetely see myself studying at because it’s a strong school academically, theyre very creative in their advertisement (which i think says a lot because if you want students to apply, then you have to put an effort in selling your school and i think they really do that) and also bacause of the types of kids that they admit. yes they consider numbers but they also go beyond that and look at the applicant as an individual and at what he/she can offer, not only academically, but socially and personally.</p>
