With Miami, she’ll get a nice scholarship - if it were this year, $21K a year leaving about $18K or so tuition. The B school is good - depending on what she wants to study - and she hasn’t responded with that yet.
Because as I brought up earlier, B school is more than an overall ranking:
If you were doing supply chain, for example, you’d go to none of these schools but rather UTK, ASU, or Michigan State.
If MIS, Arizona or Indiana.
Miami - for accounting.
I personally agree - if she’s happy with Miami and CU Boulder - and this is where the budget discussion comes in - then she’s set and can apply to only reaches.
W&M is the “smaller, more prestigious” Miami - and would be a match I believe - but is not on her list. They are similar in so many ways.
And then you know who has a great B School - I know you do DramaMama…your daughter is attending
Cost is absolutely a must to be known - because OOS publics (short of UVA/UNC) and meeting need. I thought I read somewhere cost wasn’t an issue but can’t find that now. So many threads - it’s hard to keep everything straight.
W&M stats are surprisingly not as high as the perception based on pedigree. I can see it being a reach but I don’t think high reach. I threw it out because she mentioned Richmond (similar size but obviously in the city…but it’s not in the city center but more the outskirts) and Miami - to which, I feel W&M is very similar but smaller.
But fair point - many consider W&M a reach for pretty much all. My take is a bit different - but I wouldn’t bank on it.
CU and Miami for sure - and then I think after that it’s all open - but to everyone bringing up cost - there’s so many schools people can eliminate based on that alone - especially the higher end OOS publics.
