<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'd like some help in picking my final school. Here are the choices I've narrowed it down to:</p>
<p>Wellesley College (my parents have to pay just under $17,000 per year; the financial aid package also includes a $2000 loan)</p>
<p>Stony Brook University (full ride, inc. room and board); Women in Science and Engineering Program</p>
<p>Macaulay Honors at Hunter College (I'm not sure if you have heard of this program - its a special honors program for students in NYC, they also have $7500 in funds for each student to study abroad, intern, or use for a test prep class. Tuition is free for four years and dorming is free for three).</p>
<p>I'm also on the waitlists of Columbia, UPenn, and Harvard, but I am really not expecting anything to happen.</p>
<p>Some info about me:
I absolutely love history and literature. I am considering a career in law, journalism, International Relations, or medicine. </p>
<p>I love the city and I was also looking forward to a traditional, cohesive campus culture, but I am willing to make sacrifices.</p>
<p>I really like Wellesley but going to Stony for free or Macaulay Hunter are great opportunities as well. </p>
<p>My concern is that Wellesley has a very awesome alumnae network, and thus resources and opportunities that Macaulay or Stony may not have.</p>
<p>Any input is appreciated.</p>
