To be clear, UChicago is, indeed, need-blind to domestic applicants - has been and will continue to be. That comes with the usual caveats, of course but that won’t be impacted by the pandemic. I know that CptHouse meant “international only” in comment #1 but wanted to clarify this for others who read.

OP is probably referring to the Odyssey program, and that’s been prioritized by the administration for minimum impact. Wouldn’t expect much if any changes to occur there. As international admission is need-aware to begin with, there’s no reason to expect their criteria to change. So OP can probably rest easy, even if thinking about ED. In general, it appears that the university has been pretty generous to those on FA, especially those living off campus (which tends to be less expensive than res. halls). Usually the FA office will reduce aid to account for off-campus; this year, they kept it the same. That’s an extra $5k subsidy for the off-campus students, even those at home with parents. And of course they didn’t raise tuition and housing fees this year. That might change next year, of course.
