Uchicago With University Scholar vs Princeton

I’m going to sidestep your main question and say these are two very, very different schools in terms of campus vibe, student body, and curriculum. In fact, I’m having a hard time coming up with any areas of similarity between the two other than they are top schools.

If your daughter has not visited both, she really needs to do so. I expect most kids will find that they really like one or the other, not both.

Bottom line, I don’t think the $7K should drive your decision, rather your daughters reactions to each school should determine which she attends.
