Yo whats up people. i know you all knew that i want to go to gatech real bad. but recently, i received a full tuition scholarship from morehouse, and an acceptance to vanderbilt. now, i have a little trouble picking between all three. which one should i choose, with cost in mind. also, think about the fact that i receive the hope scholarship, since i am an instate student in ga.
<p>can you break down the financial aid offers for us... have you visited all campuses?</p>
<p>BUT NE WAYS, MOREHOUSE IS ABOUT 25k a year. i got full tuiton scholarship. so that puts me at about 9 or 10K. GEORIA TECH COST 13.5K PER YEAR. HOPE PAYS FOR TUTION SO I AM DOWN TO ABOUT 8 OR 9k. vanderbilt is 44k. i have not got my financial aide packet yet. if i get at least 27 or 29k from financial aid, that would be great from vanderbilt. </p>
<p>oh, morehouse does a dual degree program with ga tech.</p>
<p>Money aside...what do you like about each school. Which felt like the best fit...where you'd be happy? All are great schools so you can't make a bad choice. Do all the locations appeal to you?</p>
<p>If I were you I would go to GA TECH & do the dual program w/ Morehouse. But then again a full ride @ Morehouse ain't that bad! I heard Vandy is lacking in diversity...so... it's up to you!</p>
<p>actually, hope pays for books & tuition & something else (can't remember right now!) so tech is about 6-7K a year. just thought i'd put that out there.</p>
<p>Question:</p>
<p>If you went to Gatech, took the dual degree program at Morehouse, how would your tuition be handled? If you are just paying the cost of going to GA tech, then taking classes at Morehouse then you have the best of both worlds.</p>
<p>If you decided not to go into engineering or once you got there found that it was not your stick, would GAtech stillbe attractive to you?</p>
<p>Is your full ride at Morehouse for 4 years? what are the conditions for keeping the full ride? I know that Morehouse has a number of exchange programs (Columbia, I think, Dartmouth definitely-is that attractive to you) Is there a study abroad , are you interested in those things?</p>
<p>You will have to wait for the Vanderbuilt offer to see exactly what you are dealing with.</p>
<p>Have you visted, spent the night sant in on classes at any of them. Which environment do you best feel your self in when it comes to having the best educational experience.</p>
<p>what do you want to study? if it's anything in engineering, go for ga tech.</p>
<p>Hi gatechboy. I was accepted to every school I applied (the three of them): Morehouse College, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Georgetown University. I'm from GA. </p>
<p>Here's a chart of the cost to attend Morehouse</p>

<p>I was offered a scholarship for Tuition, Room, and Board. I have to pay for fees. Luckily, I have additional scholarships such as Hope that will pay for the fees. </p>
<p>I was talking to a friend, earlier today, who is currently at Morehouse. He said that the cost of fees isn't as high as MC makes them out to be. They're only a couple of hundred dollars. Books can cost up to about $400 typically. You can get book vouchers (I think). </p>
<p>I was going to apply to Vanderbilt (and Harvard), but I missed the application deadlines. I think that you should attend Morehouse/GA tech. Morehouse College has higher placement rates into the top business, law, and medical schools than the other schools you mentioned. As an engineering, you can be an entreprenuer; you can market and sell you ideas. The connections that you make at Morehouse and GA Tech may prove to be highly helpful later on in your career.</p>
<p>Also, something you may not know is that the Dual Degree Program enables you to go to other engineering institutions. They include: Auburn University, Boston University, Columbia University, Dartmouth College-Thayer School of Engineering, North Carolina A & T State University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Rochester Institute of Technology, and University of Florida at Gainesville. The degree from Morehouse will be awarded in either general science, or in chemistry, computer science, mathematics or physics.</p>
<p>There are 17 classes that you must take at MC before you go to your engineering school; these classes are in addition to core classes and the classes of your major (some are in conjunction).</p>
<p>GATechboy: Your best bet would be to find current catalogs for each school and review them. This would help you tremendously in your choice. If possible, you should also talk to people who are currently at these schools.</p>
<p>If you have any questions about contacts (for Morehouse), email me at <a href="mailto:anton@sam.zzn.com">anton@sam.zzn.com</a>.</p>
<p>Ort, are you heading off to Georgetown next fall?</p>
<p>I'm not going to Georgetown. One of their representatives ****ed me off at a college fair. My main reason is that you only have one chance to attend Morehouse's program, whereas with Georgetown, I think that you can go to one of their many programs.</p>
<p>Morehouse is also giving me a huge scholarship offer.</p>
<p>hey ort30, what did the rep do?</p>
<p>The Rep seemed very condescending.</p>
