<p>I really appreciate everyone’s help today. This forum is so wonderful and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your time and willingness to help. Looks like I got quite a few schools to look into. It looks like I was overlooking a UC(SD) that is right under our noses and would sure be nice not to pay private school tuition. Tufts, JHU (though I didn’t see much about plant bio when I looked into them before), WashU, a more thorough look at UoChicago (though it was already on his list), Pomona cluster, a closer look at CalTech. I’ll have to go back through the posts. I think there were more. Thank you !!!</p>
