How to tell if two colleges are considered comparable

<p>My daughter is deciding between Miami University(Ohio) and Bowling Green(ohio), both state schools, but leaning towards Miami. Miami has offered $1300 in scholarship and BG has offered $3000. Miami's tuition is more expensive by about $3000, so there is really a difference of about $4700. Other costs are roughly comparable. Schools are basically same student population, similiar town settings. Miami's mid-50 percent SAT scores are 3-4 points higher. How do I know if they consider each other rivals for student admissions? Are they comparable in reality and what is the possibility Miami could increase aid somewhat?</p>
