<p>Seems pretty balanced! Nice work making your list.</p>

<p>Nice list. Have you run the net price calculators to make sure your family can afford each school?</p>

<p>@jkeil911 I definitely won’t qualify for financial aid anywhere, but luckily, price is not an issue. Merit aid would be awesome but it is not a huge factor.</p>

5

<p>WashU and Vandy have a bunch of money and both will pay for people with your stats.</p>

6

<p>@jkeil911 I’m generally trying to stay close to New York (big family with little siblings), but WashU looks beautiful and Olin is top notch. Do you think I would have a good chance of getting merit aid if I got in?</p>

7

<p>from what I can see, absolutely. an essay could foul the ointment, but other than that…</p>

<p>@jkeil911 I am usually a good writer, so I will definitely look into WashU. Thanks for the insight!</p>
