Public schools often have more financial resources, due to a lower number of admits and also more $ for research or from Alumi, etc.

<p>eh, you sure about this? I applied for many out of state schools including schools in washington state, california (including Berkeley and UCLA), texas, and georiga but DID NOT get much financial aid (around $700 grant?!). On the contrary, private schools such as Emory and Vanderbilt gave me the kind of aid that I deserve. generous with over 25,000 a year in grants.</p>
