<p>JHS, Cue7, Idad,</p>
<p>Thank you all for fascinating insights and some good suggestions for future reading.</p>
<p>I’ve been planning to get Karabel’s book for months. I’m heading to the library tomorrow!</p>
<p>The only thing I can add to the discussion is that part of the reason for increasing the undergraduate enrollment was financial - I’m told the U makes money on undergrads, even net of financial aid. </p>
<p>And an interesting off topic note: NYT today had an interesting article regarding need blind/need aware admissions and average debt load. Among need blind peers, average chicago grad debt is quite a bit higher. I know the U argues that it enrolls more (in number) needy students, but I don’t think all stats support this. Anyone have any data?</p>
