[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot depends on what state you live in. If your public options include UVA, Michigan, Berkeley, UCLA, Georgia Tech, Texas, even UMD, Florida, and Georgia, congratulations, you have excellent and affordable options. There probably aren’t very many schools that are genuinely worth an extra $200,000. And even if one does get admitted to HYPSM, it is often true that those students also receive full ride scholarships to their state flagships. Is Yale worth $400,000 over a free ride to UVA or Georgia Tech? Generally, the answer is no. As for tiers, it seems like HYPSM will always be the “top” 5 schools. But in reality this is very major dependent. There are so many schools that are stronger in engineering compared to Harvard or Yale. And all of the schools ranked 5-15 are excellent and are often a better fit for students than HYPSM. I guess those would be your tier 2 schools - Duke to Notre Dame. All great schools.[/quote]
