<p>Beside women’s colleges, many tech schools would be interested, but oftentimes IR wouldn’t be possible (nor musical theater). Rose Hulman or RPI have a big gender ratio imbalance so you’d likely get some preferential packaging. </p>
<p>For schools such as NYU or AU, with NYU clearly a top school both for Math and IR + musical theater opportunities, financial aid is quirky. NYU does not promise to meet need and is notoriously stingy but will provide great scholarships for students it wants - so if you’re interested, start showing it (fill out the request info forms, email professors in your fields of interest, visit if you can, etc.) as this will increase the likelihood of a good financial aid package. Tufts does not award merit scholarships, so if you qualify for NMF they add $2,000 to your financial aid package, but if you don’t qualify for aid they only give you a token $500. </p>
