<p>Montegut,
My dd#2 is hoping to get into Genetic Engineering…is applying to Marquette as well as some other schools. Thanks for the reality check that perhaps applying for Honors Programs may be a bit of a strain.</p>
<p>My daughter chose Marquette over instate University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. With her scholarships, it’s only costing us about 8,000 more a year. She didn’t really want to go to U of I, since it felt all the kids would be just like her high school friends. Also, she got into Marquette’s PT program.<br>
She also chose to forego an honors application, thinking (rightly) that her program would be challenging enough.</p>
<p>MTJTravller,</p>
<p>Thanks for the CU info. My son got accepted into CU’s business school. We could not afford the out of state tuition even after their scholarship offer. MU was a back up school and one we could afford. I have a niece from the Denver area who said the same thing about going to school in state. They consider it lame now, but just wait…Thanks.</p>
