[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where would you look:

Strong enough GPA, test scores and rigor that taking a shot at a T10 makes sense.

Good EC’s that support what he wants to do in and after college.

Wants to study civil engineering and geoscience or hydrology, with a goal on working on water related issues in international development.

Would like a school that takes a lot of AP credit, and that offers non-Western languages.

Needs to stay under 40K so the school needs to either meet need, or give good merit.

ChatGPT suggested Princeton.  [/quote]
UVA or UMD[/quote]

No not UVA. Try VTech[/quote]

We are still trying to figure out how to estimate aid, but VT looks like it's a school like Wisconsin or Ohio State where getting in is likely, but getting enough merit to attend is less likely.  I feel like he has enough of those schools on his list, and the ones he has are schools he likes better than VT.

This is totally off topic for this thread, but if anyone has thoughts on how to estimate merit aid, that would be great.  I appreciate schools that guarantee it, or that figure it into the net price calculator, like Minnesota![/quote]
