Will also add that with merit aid from CW and Pitt, costs are within striking distance of UMD (in-state for us). Emory is dramatically more expensive — like more than $100K more over 4 years. No need-based aid coming. |
Based purely on that description, Case Western |
UC Davis - don't anyone who was unhappy with their choice to go there |
Emory then transfer to main campus. I hate Emory lol and I am saying it. My kid EDed there to both campuses and didn't get in so we got beef (several years ago). It's okay she is at a top school. |

Indiana Kelley direct admit. $50K VT Pamplin direct admit. $34K (in-state) Penn State Smeal. $58K? (no merit) WM (no direct admit avail). $45K? (we have prepaid plan) Waiting for UMich, but it's expensive/hard to get in |
That is a weird perspective for any 18-year-old to have. You sure your kid really doesn't care about any of these things? |
f Case Western 100%. I went there and he sounds like a perfect fit for the school. Lots of smart kids, little emphasis on sports or frats. Diverse. Great for STEM but interesting humanities departments as well. I really liked Cleveland--great arts scene and restaurants. It's an underrated city. |
Indiana. |
1. Michigan 2. W&M due to cost 3. Indiana 4. VT due to cost solely as to why over Penn State 5. Penn State. Assume wants to be in DC area. If NYC, would definitely go all in on trying to get into Michigan. I think cost savings still good for W&M in two if NYC. |

VA resident with plan to move to CA so could make in-state tuition work for CA schools after first year - would delay move for four years if DC selects UVA
Major: English/undecided (heavier on the "undecided" which is what makes this really tricky) UCSD UCSB UVA |
Would like to get back to the DC area after graduation. Would that impact your recommendation? Thanks! |
Amherst 100%. Most prestigious and I would highly recommend attending a liberal arts colleges prior to medical school (I'm a doctor). You want a broad and interesting background prior to 4 years of straight science. Most of the best doctors I know went this route. |
UCSD. It's just lovely and fun. |
