<p>Really surprised that you wouldn’t have been off the charts excited about CMU as a CS major.</p>
<p>I second the above, was it purely money?</p>
<p>Wow, very interesting, congratulations, glad you got so much aid at Grinnell, I think they are the only ones who meet need on your acceptance list, yes? Thanks for updating. It would be interesting to see relative net costs to you.</p>
<p>BrownParent is correct. CMU didn’t meet my need. They gave me ~$30k and Grinnell gave me ~$50k. Purdue gave ~$15k. My efc was near zero and I’m paying with assets. But $40k over four years is pretty affordable. </p>
