Don't count on merit aid!

What do you mean here? Realize that the Ivy League does not give any merit-based scholarships.</p>

<p>A “whatever you say” attitude is not very U of C. You can have discussion and disagree–but you still need to have the discussion. If you don’t want to continue a discussion, for whatever reason, at least have the respect for the other person and for your own points to be straight about it. I hate that pompous passivity, the message of “I disagree but I’m too good to tell you why,” which is exactly what “whatever you say…” implies.</p>
