Hey, I was wondering what some opinions were on these two schools. I am the pretty nice predicament of choosing between the two, and was curious on what other's thoughts were on the subject. Thanks!
I've also been debating the same question recently... my biggest surprise was that NU actually gave me a slightly larger financial aid package, which is not what I was expecting at all. Also, does anyone know what the deal is with UChicago's year 3 and 4 tuition? Why is it so much higher, when many schools maintain the same tuition for all four years (aside from normal yearly increases)?

I do agree that the amount of PBL at Northwestern could be a bit overwhelming, but I did enjoy the PBL I did in my A&P class last year, it was very helpful.
I mean, I thought most schools increased the tuition slightly to account for the 3rd and 4th years being 12 months rather than 9. Seems like UChicago just raises it a lil more than other schools?
