In the recent weeks, I have been accepted into Indiana Kelley with a $10k scholarship with a possible additional 2 or 3k. Also, I am in at Hutton Honors college at IU.
I was accepted at Boston college CSOM with no word on financial aid.
Also in at Villanova school of business with no word on financial aid.
Lastly, I’m in at Michigan (in state) LSA and I’m waiting to hear from Ross in the coming weeks.
I loved Indiana when I visited and really liked Villanova. Michigan was good and Ross was really impressive. I thought BC was fine but I probably didn’t spend enough time there as it was at the end of a long trip.
Anyways, any feedback would be great. Thanks everyone.
If you get into Ross, the decision is obvious. But let us assume for the sake of this discussion that you do not get into Ross and that you major in CS or Economics in LSA.
Michigan in-state is a bargain hard to pass up. BC or Villanova cost roughly $70k/year. Michigan for in-state students will cost ~ $30k/year. As such, unless BC and Villanova come back to you with a very generous FA package (like $30k/year or more), I do not think they are worth choosing over Michigan.
IU with a $10k scholarship will still cost ~ $40k/year, so Michigan is still a better bargain. However, if you really want to major in business, it could be worth paying the extra money to attend Kelley.
If you don’t get into Ross and can afford Kelley, then go there. But Ross if you get in.
