SBdad,
Our experience last year with the Chicago financial aid office was also very disappointing. They were totally unflexible and would not review their decision, which compared badly to other colleges where S was accepted and received financial aid $$[ C offered $0]. I had read before on CC that Chicago was very stingly with financial aid. Wish I could say why, but I expect it is because of their relatively small endowment compared to many similar excellent but wealthier universities. Don’t hold your breath hoping for more $$$.
