Sportissimo,</p>
<p>Congratulations on your acceptance... I recall responding to one of your earlier posts back in the fall. The decision to attend a less prestigious school offering you an attractive financial package is difficult to assess without knowing more about your family's personal financial situation. However, given that Emory's new financial aid program, Emory Advantage, provides a tremendous booster/neutralizer, I would urge you to investigate that fully. It might be a good neutralizer regarding cost of attendance. Good luck!</p>
