<p>blindkite (i like your username by the way for some reason) she’s probably blowing her horn, because Chicago does not guarantee anything for national merit finalist. In fact, they reject plenty of Nat Merit finalists every year.
corranged, I’m really apologize for offending you or anybody else. i realize how you may have misinterpreted my post, since it is rather ambiguous. I was not having an anti-UC attitude, or any attitude at all. In fact, I was sticking up for UC, or at least trying to. I know the Ivy league does not give merit money – that was the whole point of my post. This whole thread is about how UC is unfair in its practices of giving out scholarships, and I was just saying that, even if it is true, at least they give money. Any slim chance of getting money is betterthan no chance at any ivy league. Though it is rare, I feel ridiculously awkward when I post something, meaning no offense, and someone gets offended and writes a giant reaction to it.</p>
