[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have tread the whole thread but before you do anything contact the admissions contact at all the full pay schools and ask them whether they can provide a tuition discount in view of the full ride ptoviddd by Wisconsin. Do this tomorrow.[/quote]

This is a worthwhile idea. Don't threaten them though. Just say that your kid is so torn, he loves CMU but feels a bit guilty turning down a full pay offer. Can they do anything to tip the scale? (Only do this if CMU does appeal strongly to your child.)[/quote]

This works only for peer institutions.  Are Wisconsin and Carnegie peers?[/quote]

Wisconsin has an outstanding program. But nothing is CMU in this space.[/quote]

+1 which is why Wisconsin offered the full ride -- its the only way to get your kid to pick them over the others. I turned down CMU many moons ago due to the cost (we just could not afford it, took the scholarship to a much lesser known school), and it still stings sometimes.[/quote]
