If your only reason for choosing Chicago would be perceived rigor and strength of the Econ program, go to Penn. The social life is a million times better, and the academics at Penn are fantastic. You can get yourself the same education (Penn IS an Ivy, after all), have a better GPA and have a lot more fun. You could try to appeal for merit money at Chicago, but it’s doubtful you’d get it.
