[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in this situation, though with less in 529. My junior DS wants to do engineering. He won’t get into MIT, Harvey Mudd, etc. Maybe Purdue but no guarantee that he’ll get type of engineering he wants. On the advice of DCUM, we visited a safety first - Pitt. Turns out he loves it. Is there any point in looking at higher ranked schools- say Rochester? Esp when in state is Md? I just don’t see it. We’ll visit case bc it gives good aid but otherwise I’m struggling to understand why I’d spend $90k when DS job prospects will not be measurably different at a school top 10-15 vs top 20 vs top 40. Huge believer in starting visits with likelies!!!![/quote] Pitt is not cheap at all if you are out of state. Nearly 60k all in. This doesn’t seem quite worth it. Merit aid is low and apparently shrinking there. Look for an actually cheap likely. [/quote]
