Where else did you apply and why Chicago?

Hmmm I am from the Class of 2014, but back in my day I applied to:
Harvard, Yale, Cornell, UPenn Wharton, UMich, NYU, Northwestern, SUNY Buffalo.
Got into NYU and UMich, but way too expensive plus I had already gotten into UChicago so they were out of consideration.
Got into SUNY Buffalo as well. Waitlisted at Northwestern and Wharton, rejected at Harvard, Yale, and Cornell.
Out of all the schools I got into, UChicago was the most highly regarded and offered the most money. It was an easy choice.
