Why is UChicago so heavily leveraged?

<p>Well, I’m international. My classmate whose EFC was 50% got in, but I was waitlisted even if I was more than willing to pay full freight (in fact, I would gladly pay double to attend UChicago). We have similar academics, he has weaker ECs…so…yeah I don’t think it’s that ‘heavily leveraged’.</p>
