[quote=Anonymous]My DC was in the same position. Some Ivy acceptances but only modest aid, could have gone to any public other than the top few with a full ride, or any school below #75 or so with a full ride. He ultimately chose to attend WUSTL because they offered 50% off as merit aid, and the experience has been great so far. Of course, it does not have the name recognition of the Ivy's. But the people who matter (admissions for med school or PhD program) know that it is a great school, even if most people have never heard of it. I think Rice and Northwestern and a few other schools are in the same category - they still offer merit aid and a great education but are not quite as well known as the Ivy's or Stanford or Chicago. But, they will provide the same opportunities for grad school admission down the road. [/quote]
