<p>Going into Business and have to make a decision</p>
<p>IU (Indiana University)direct admit to Business out of state
SMU (southern methodist university) ends up being the same price
TCU Texas Christian (5,000 cheaper per year)</p>
<p>I'm turning down

<p>Hmm what was the offer at Miami (Ohio) like. I would go there if it matches TCU. What about UIUC? I would opt for Indiana of your 3 top choices.</p>
<p>TCU feels to me to be a significant step down in prestige from SMU and IU. Does that matter to you? What are your priorities in this decision: prestige, fit, finances, location…? </p>
<p>What is it about the final three schools that you like?</p>
<p>It’s hard for me to advise you without knowing more about your circumstances. For example, if finances must be your #1 priority, then TCU would be a good option, even if it’s a bit less prestigious than the others. If your religion is very important to you, then you may be happier at TCU or SMU instead of IU. Etc.</p>
