<p>Tres Elefantes, U of Chicago is a great school (2 of my 3 kids have gone there), but I fear it may not meet your academic or financial aid requirements. Check the catalog carefully, as the Creative Writing offerings are limited, and by consent (submission). As far as I can tell, there is no Creative Writing major, though there is an English and CW minor. And though it offers many, many languages, I don’t see Vietnamese in the course offerings. Merit aid is also unpredictable, as it is awarded by a faculty committee, with no identifiable criteria posted anywhere. Don’t get me wrong, I love this school, my kids love this school, but I would suggest you research its offerings carefully before tackling the application.</p>
