<p>Hence why I (as an American) am not applying to any schools overseas <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>But, guys, I just wanted to point out ** something pretty important about UChicago aid and scholarships ** that no one has been mentioning: Outside scholarships first reduce your personal loans/self-help, BUT after that ** UChicago’s portion is reduced before your parents’. ** In other words, if UChicago expects more from your family than you can reasonably give, don’t count on scholarships to bail you out. I had been very hopeful that the scholarship frenzy I’m in would eventually mitigate UChicago’s unreasonable analysis of my parents’ means, but after reading about THAT, I’m setting my sights elsewhere.</p>
