<p>I’ll have to check out the facebooks… I don’t know how I feel about nerdy/socially awkward. I’m not nerdy or socially awkward, in my opinion. I’m friends with what I consider “normal” kids: stoners, kids with average grades going to state colleges, etc.</p>
<p>I am hesitant about missing out on opportunities that Stanford offers, and I’m sure (like you do) that I will when I’m at Chicago.</p>
<p>As far as costing twice as much, it isn’t a significant difference in the big scheme of things. If my financial aid holds up at Chicago (if their endowment doesn’t plummet) then it will probably cost about $10,000 more than Stanford. But even that is a lot for a family like mine. I feel kind of selfish accepting Chicago for that reason. To reject the money Stanford is offering feels… ungrateful.</p>
