Any input from current Chicago residents about where to start?

I've eaten at many of these and all that I see are good recommendations quality wise but the author took some pretty big artistic liberties in calling some of those "cheap". :roll:

Me, too. And I LOL'd. I guess it's better than nothing but probably means Chicago is no longer a contender.

you should negotiate regardless, but whether you'll get something is going to depend on what leverage you can bring to the table

This. It was shocking how little they seem to be giving outside of the Rubies. I thought my amount was per year at first and I was still disappointed with the amount. I mean, both NYU and Columbia gave me 5x the amount Chicago did. Judging from my visit and friends' testimonials, it seems Chicago has a massive inferiority complex going on with certain schools including Columbia. Does anyone know if a Hamilton could sway them to throw some more cash my way?
Probably.

Not sure why you'd want to go to a school with such a big inferiority complex, though.

oh wow I'm surprised with those numbers but I'd say definitely negotiate. it can't hurt!

edit: I hope that didn't come across as rude, I'm genuinely surprised because I thought they were known for favoring high GPAs. maybe they think you won't come anyway, so they didn't want to throw a lot at you? in that case a negotiation could help a lot!
