Mites or ssp

Hey guys, I was accepted to SSP Colorado today and I’m really excited! However the tuition is pretty steep and I’m not sure how much aid I can get and I’m still waiting on MITES, which is free if I’m not mistaken. On the small chance that I’m also accepted to MITES, which would you suggest I attend? I like both a lot.

I would suggest SSP. SSP is supposed to be more rigorous and both are affiliated with MIT.
