Is this a sufficiently balanced list for an engineering major?

<p>I am curious, if Northwestern gives so little money to NMF why was it the third most popular (after Chicago and Vandy) to get awards from and actually enroll (183)?</p>

<p>Even more surprising since some of the publics seem to be throwing money at National Merit Finalists so why do NMF like Northwestern so much if they don’t give much money?</p>

<p>UT Dallas - free ride + $4,000/semester (!) stipend
and also very generous aid at Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Alabama, Arizona etc.</p>
