Is it worth it?

<p>If you're reading this thread, thanks!</p>

<p>I have a dilemma. </p>

<p>I'm a first gen. Asian, and I got accepted to Dartmouth. Problem is, my family would have to pay $30,000 a year (unless I get some sort of scholarship for soph-senior years). Now, I know the sort of connections that Ivy's have access to--and I want to go into law/business/or something international, so those'll be mega useful.</p>

<p>Aside from Dartmouth, though, I've gotten the Seaver scholarship at Claremont McKenna (all tuition paid, all four years, and 8,000 dollars for 2 summers), the Trustee scholarship at USC (I'm in the business school), and I'm into Business Honors and Plan II at UT Austin. I've also gotten into Wellesley and Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>As of now, I'm not sure of what I want to major in, but I do know that I hope to go to law school or get an MBA. But, again, I'm rather confused.</p>

<p>Is Dartmouth worth the cost, then?</p>

<p>Thanks for any advice/suggestions,</p>

<p>-T</p>

<p>I think ivy is just a brand. </p>

<p>Claremont and USC are both great schools. Going there won’t hurt your future at all. </p>

<p>If you get full-cover scholarship in Claremont, then go!</p>

<p>Dartmouth is excellent, but I personally don’t think it worth that much.</p>
