<p>which number is the one we're gonna have to pay each year?</p>
<p>I was a bit confused by this as well. I would assume your “total resources” one? Help anybody?</p>
<p>what about the first set of numbers under “I. Grant, Scholarship & Federal Perkins Loan Eligibility”??</p>
<p>where do you see your financial aid?</p>
<p>The first set of numbers are the things we’ll be receiving, not paying.</p>
<p>aznjunior, there is a financial aid letter on the student site as well, just below the acceptance letter I believe.</p>
<p>yeah, you’re right. hmm…decent package hahah</p>
<p>Really? I got like $5000 (2 in grants, 3 in loans), and the rest was up to me. That’s not very much considering the school costs $60,000/year. What’d you get? Did you get a merit scholarship or something?</p>
<p>no i didnt apply for merit…****…probably should have!!! i got around 29,000 from uchicago sans loans</p>
<p>haha… I guess chicago was another one of the schools i forgot to apply for financial aid… so I can’t go even if I wanted</p>
<p>Wow! Congrats! Was there an extra merit scholarship application that I wasn’t aware of? (I feel really dumb right now if there was.) In my defense, financial aid was a mess trying to figure it out for all my different schools.</p>
<p>EDIT: I did the UChicago Financial Aid App, FAFSA, CSS, tax returns, and all of that… Did I miss something? :(</p>
<p>Ummm you cant apply for merit. lol It’s based off your SAT scores, GPA/class rank etc. </p>
<p>But its ridiculous that they would expect someone to take out close to 30k in loans each year. Unless you’re moving on to being a Pharmacist or Doctor ect you’ll be paying back those loans until later on in life.</p>
<p>Congrats on the acceptance!</p>
<p>^ That’s what I thought, but I was confused by wg90210’s comment. 
Thank god.</p>
<p>Well, I do plan on medical school, but there’s no way to say that it’ll definitely happen. In any case, it’s probably worth the money.</p>
<p>Ugh! As of right now, WashU gave me a better package. This sucks. I hope my mom will still go for it, UChicago’s my first-choice…</p>
<p>sorry for the confusion! but when i applied on common app, there was a button to select about whether or not i wanted to be considered for merit aid. i checked no.</p>
<p>Question, are Chicago’s finaid packages fairly consistent from year to year (as long as your situation is the same)? I’m assuming they are, but just curious.</p>
<p>I applied for financial aid, and was admitted EA–but I cannot find the Aid letter anywhere on the website. Am I looking in the wrong place?</p>
<p>There should be a yellow bar at the top of your homepage, just like the decision letter.</p>
<p>I can’t find it too. I’m an international by the way.</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s definitely not there…that’s slightly concerning.</p>
