[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve got a similar situation with our senior. They’ve been accepted into the honors program at Tech in-state, and honors at UMass Amherst. DC offered a similar amount of merit at UMass. DC hasn’t visited Tech yet, but will soon.

Don’t merit decisions come out a little later for Tech? DC wrote that 5-part essay for Honors College $$, and I don’t think has heard anything about that yet. I don’t want to be presumptuous, but I think it’s fair to think that a kid being offered that much merit at UMass might also be offered something at Tech.

In my kid’s situation, the travel to and from UMass from the DMV is likely a deal-breaker. DC was trying to go to an accepted students event this spring, and there just wasn’t a practical way to get them there (I’ve already been to campus with DC multiple times).

What? This is a terrible reason to turn down a school. I have a kid in the DMV heading to a different college in the pioneer valley. Sure it’s not convenient to travel there, but it can be done. [/quote]

Having been to both - flying to BDL for UMass or driving down 81 to VT, I can say neither is a great trip.[/quote]
