[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on whether the extra cost of attending one of the ivies or ivy-equivalents on your list would make a big difference in your family budget and your grad school plans, if any. Do you expect any need-based aid from the ivies et. al?

I would have a hard time turning down Harvard, Princeton, Columbia , Duke or Chicago for either Vandy or UVa, unless the extra cost was too much and would impact my budget substantially. In other words i wouldn't choose those two over the elites just to save money if i didn't actually need to save that money. Might consider full-ride at Vandy over Hopkins though.

Between Vandy and UVa, I think you should just choose based on fit and cost. The schools are not that different in terms of prestige and quality. [b]Given that Vandy is full ride i [/b]would go with that over UVA. [/quote]

He or she wasn't offered full ride.  Just full tuition of $44K.  The total package for Vandy not including transportation is $63,000+[/quote]
Ok, so she’d be on the hook for about $20K/year. Still cheaper than UVA.[/quote]
