<p>uchicago did not offer me any aid while stanford and cmu offered ~17k. Does uchicago have a poor track record with aid??</p>
<p>We were sure my son would get a back FA package from Chicago but in fact it turned out to be his second best. Our EFC was 19K and Chicago put a package together that amounted to our contribution being 14K. That’s a big savings! </p>
<p>My son got 33200 in grants and some work study and small loans.</p>
<p>If your aid isn’t making sense I would call the FA and ask about it. Mistakes can happen so it would be worth following up if you want Chicago.</p>
