U Chicago Chance Me!?!?

I really want to go to University of Chicago and get an economics degree. I’m a OOS white male student coming from an affluent family. I applied regular decision to University of Chicago. Also, if I look competitive to get in, can you chance me for merit scholarships… even if it’s a stab in the dark

Rec letters and essay;
I don’t know how to rank mine since I have nothing to compare them to. Just assume they are average when compared to any other applicant.

Thank you soooooo much!

Why would we chance you for that here? Put it on Chicago’s because I nor anyone here should really know.

Wonder if he “really” wants to go to Emory or U of Chicago since he’s posted both :))

Exactly. I think the answer is obvious since they are sold on economics there and then finance at Emory. They are chasing big bucks majors. Which school has an advantage on big bucks for those pursuing any major affiliated with it?

Bernie, as you suspected, Finance majors average starting salary from Emory is the highest of all majors at Goizueta at $85K for the 2016 grads. https://goizueta.emory.edu/degree/undergraduate/career_management/placement_statistics/index.html

I have no idea what Economics degrees from Chicago fetch. Maybe some are IB.
