Hi,

My dedicated and hard working son has been accepted to The University of Chicago, Stanford and Yale. It’s well deserved and we are very proud of his accomplishments. Our son is in the process of deciding/choosing, and we are going to allow him to make the final decision. But it looks like he has already ruled out UChicago even though the financial aid and scholarship package they offered him is more by 80K over a 4 year period; when compared to that of Stanford and Yale. Based on my research, it looks like UChicago is almost as good as Stanford and Yale, and doesn’t make sense me to spend 80K more to attend Stanford or Yale. Especially knowing the ranking of UChicago when it comes to Political Science major, a major he is interested in pursuing. Any advice and insight would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
