<p>Chicago's Fin'l Aid webpage lists 20 full merit and 100 partials. All the other aid is need based and they claim to cover 100% of your unmet need. They are rated high (94) by one of the ratings organizations (Petersons?) but a number of people have told me (rumor) that they are stingy.</p>

<p>You can fill out the CSS profile and see an approximation of your EFC. UofC and most of the other big name schools claim to cover the remainder. My D is waiting for her aid estimate so I don't know the compents of the pkg.</p>

<p>I don't think we(middle easterners) count as minorities since we are considered "white" on college apps</p>
