-NC State (Full ride - Park Scholar)


How certain are they about marine or environmental science and do they need to save money for grad school? If they are certain and money isn’t a factor, I would probably pick Cal Berkeley.

Ooof. This is actually a tough one, but I pick UMD. That cost savings is amazing.

For me, BC. I like everything about Jesuit colleges more. But that's a pretty big money difference


Agree with BC. ND a bit higher ranked and my kid had this same choice and went with BC because of location primarily can't beat Boston and the Jesuit philosophy is just really special. That said two great choices. BC may be a bit more because more expensive location?

duke or Caltech. super different vibes, your kid will know. but one of those two. it would be duke for 90% of kids


I’d pick Berkeley over Caltech because your interests seem interdisciplinary and Berkeley is better and deeper across those areas - agroecology, marine, and env. engineering. Duke would be great too, as would ucsd if you really want the marine. But ncstate for free is hard to pass up, w/great program and money left for future.

Georgetown. No one picks Villanova over Georgetown.


For business, yes they do. Guaranteed pipeline to The Street.


I thought that was Bucknell.

ND is too religious for me but if your child applied it’s presumably not too religious for him. So ND. It’s a comparable school and that’s a lot less.
