<p>So basically the last few months have been full of stress and parents constantly asking questions. I got into my dream school but found out that making a choice isnt just based on where one wants to go. I got into the following colleges:</p>
<p>Notre Dame(dream school)
UVA
WashU
Texas A&M
Michigan Ann Arbor
Clemson
Maryland
Purdue</p>
<p>Now I am looking at Notre Dame, UVA, Clemson, Texas a&m, and WashU. Financial cost is a huge part of the choice. Notre Dame is 50 grand and WashU is very expensive. I am probably not going to demonstrate financial need but cannot afford(to my knowledge) to pay for one of those. Therefore my decision lies with UVA, ND, both of which havent offered any, Clemson, and TAMU. Looking at my situation what do you think? TAMU offered basically full ride and Clemson waived out of state and gave an additonal 1,000. I would be in honors program at TAMU or Clemson.</p>
