<p>Apply to Pitt’s full ride and see what happens, then let us know.</p>
<p>As of now, how much more/less are we talking about? Can you parents pay it? Do they want to? Do you want them to?</p>
<p>But, yes, I would totally take a full ride at Pitt (meaning also Pitt’s great honors program) over Purdue at higher cost.
In addition, engineering at Purdue vs. engineering at Pitt will make no difference to your starting salary or your job offers. What will matter is how well you do in the program you choose.</p>
<p>Is full tuition + HC at Pitt more expensive than Purdue?
It sounds like ND would be a great “fit” for you but how much is it?</p>
