Sorry for my confusion as you posted numerous times about weighing a financial decision between Amherst with little Financial aid and Rice (no mention of Vanderbilt). Combined with this post and numerous Rice follow ups:
“I don’t want to mention names but other choices include a top 20 school with some merit money, very selective honors program at our flagship and full merit rides at two decent local schools. As a high stat NMSF, free education is very much possible”.
I had assumed he had landed at Rice. Just hope he is happy.
