Should I go to Pace University (NYC) or the University of Rochester?

You should run the Net Price Calculator for each school, but here’s a general guide–

Pace average undergraduate debt is $35K – http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg01_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=50

U of Rochester undergraduate debt is $30K – http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg01_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=117

CUNY City College undergraduate debt is $16K – http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg01_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=405

Your results WILL vary, because of your stats (they must be high or you wouldn’t be considering U of Rochester). Pace may offer you significant merit money. They offered merit to 21% of students who had no need.

If your stats are that high, then consider the Macaulay program. best of luck
