<p>I think the big issue is what you want to do after graduation. If you plan to be a doctor or lawyer, go to Purdue. If you want to go into academia, finance, or consulting, chose Princeton.</p>
<p>I’d go with Princeton. If your family makes less than $180k, your FA package should be extremely generous.</p>
<p>Average aid package at Princeton is huge. If you choose Princeton you’ll never have regrets…</p>
<p>Just wanted to let everyone know that I chose Princeton, after thinking extremely long and hard about the decision!</p>
<p>Yay! So excited for you. Hopefully your FA package was competitive. Thanks for the update and closure on this thread.</p>
<p>Have a wonderful time!</p>
<p>Pretty cool! What are your academic interests?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for their help. @ Philovitist, I think I’ll major in compsci, but Id also want to study math, economics, neuroscience, international relations, public policy - I find a lot of stuff interesting.</p>
<p>Congrats alphabeta! You made the right choice :)</p>
