If you want a decent estimate, government stats like regional price parity are built by actual economists https://apps.bea.gov/itable/?ReqID=70&step=1&_gl=1*10cmwy8*_ga*NDc2ODg2MTk3LjE3MTQ4NDA5OTk.*_ga_J4698JNNFT*MTcxNDg0MDk5OC4xLjEuMTcxNDg0MTU2MC41My4wLjA.#eyJhcHBpZCI6NzAsInN0ZXBzIjpbMSwyOSwyNSwzMSwyNiwyNywzMCwzMF0sImRhdGEiOltbIlRhYmxlSWQiLCIxMDQiXSxbIk1ham9yX0FyZWEiLCI1Il0sWyJTdGF0ZSIsWyI1Il1dLFsiQXJlYSIsWyIxNjk4MCIsIjM1NjIwIiwiMzgzMDAiXV0sWyJTdGF0aXN0aWMiLCIxIl0sWyJVbml0X29mX21lYXN1cmUiLCJMZXZlbHMiXSxbIlllYXIiLFsiMjAyMiJdXSxbIlllYXJCZWdpbiIsIi0xIl0sWyJZZWFyX0VuZCIsIi0xIl1dfQ==

And, incidentally, show NYC is more expensive (Manhattan is 33% above U.S. average, Brooklyn 16%, Queens 15%) but not super different from Chicago (5% above average), so $110K in New York is about $83K in Chicago

I asked this earlier and forgot to look at the answer before it disappeared but what should be the difference between my 1st and 2nd LOCI? It’s the only school I applied to and they know I will 100% attend and what I’ve been up to since I applied

At that point just reaffirm you’re still interested and everything you said holds true I think

Do splitters need something sexy on their apps? 176 but 3.4 GPA and nothing really compelling. Decent essays, but nothing out of this world

@SpitefulAcceptablePheasant: I’m not sure what your goals are but it’s always helpful to have a strong application! You have a whole summer to add on to your profile! I think another helpful exercise could be using the search function here to see what apps with your numbers did in their wisdom to be successful at your goal schools.
