Waiting for UMich, but it's expensive/hard to get in

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.

Yes, would like to get back to the DC area. Worried about WM's rigor vs. VT (even though both are in state). Wants to have a more relaxed academic environment.

Well can't have it all. That is why I said W&M...it is more prestigious for a reason. Also, probably better alumni network than Indiana in DC.

Loves a big sports atmosphere. Can only do $20k a year before having to take out loans. Zero financial packages so far. 13,000 SAI

Best choice academically is william and mary. Worst choice sports-wise is william and mary. So I guess Clemson.

Male. Govt/history/politics/IR-related. In-state VA. Doesn't qualify for any aid. Willing to pay if a distinct advantage over other options.

If cost was equal I would lean Georgetown, but I don't think it offers a "distinct advantage" as you would say and would suggest W&M or UVA depending on which fits best.

Premed student with intent to major in biology.

Amherst and Notre Dame would be two totally different experiences. Amherst probably has a better academic reputation, but personally I think it's dated. Nearly 40 percent of Amherst students are athletes. Make of that what you will but when nearly half of a very small school competes in varsity sports it's going to impact the overall atmosphere of the school.

Notre Dame is bigger and it's a solid school academically. Unless you are totally wedded to the SLAC experience, I would choose that.

Both are better options that Pitt or Emory-Oxford.

Pitt Dietrich direct admit, no merit $55k.

Pitt, get good grades, transfer to UVA or William and Mary.

why would you have him pick almsot the most expensive option? Pick from JMU, USC, Indiana whichever felt best after visiting.

In case he can't transfer and is at Pitt...it is the best of the lot other than William and Mary.

Pitt is better than IU Kelley?

For undergrad, yes. I know a kid from the Gym there now at Pitt doing business. He got money but he turned down Gtown, GW, and W&M for it.

Pitt better than Kelley 😂

Excellent options. Is GMU significantly less expensive than the others? If no, which campus does your student prefer? Good luck!
