Ahhh -
so now it’s - if you get half tuition - it’s $33,500.
Would you go to USC?
Before you said full ride- but it’s not full ride we’re told - it’s tuition - so let’s say $67K - this year $66,640 - could be $68-69 next year. Is that enough? You have a chance - 1/8 - good but not great.
If you were only going full ride, then keep what you’re doing - Chicago ED and interview.
If you’re a full pay student, ask your family. They may say - for $33.5K and the odds are good, you can’t ED. Or at $67K.
Or they might say - the money doesn’t matter - stick with Chicago.
They are paying - let them help in the decision.
