<p>Thanks for putting the link up, unalove. I was about to do it myself. And JohnC613, I got your original meaning…missing meanings is pretty easy on line though.</p>
<p>To clarify the National Merit issue: Chicago does not offer anything to applicants for being simply for being NMSF, Commended, or Finalist. </p>
<p>For those students who are admitted, however, they have been funding official National Merit Scholarships–1K per year for students who receive no need-based aid and 2K per year for those who do. Those scholarships, though they are funded by UC, are administered through the National Merit program. (Incidently, official NM Scholarships are NEVER big bucks like full tuition.)</p>
