Please help. My son got accepted to UCLA with Achievement Scholarship, which mean almost free ride(SAT2300 and 14AP all As and many ECs). Just found out today he also got accepted to Princeton and wait list at Harvard. We are from California. Princeton Fin Aid not as good as UCLA. He plan to go to Medical School later. Need advice please. I am so new to all this. I did not go to school here in the US. Thank you all in advance.
What are the estimated costs at both? For medical school, I’d recommend attending UCLA and doing well in his classes, unless Princeton’s financial aid comes fairly close. Unless the costs are no problem for your family – but beware the costs of medical school afterward.
If you are new here, it will help other seasoned posters if you supply the actual financial figures here. There are plenty of medical school graduates and alumni of both schools floating around.
Thank you for your response @anhydrite, my son and I are in the process of visiting both places and will talk to financial aid. I think we should decide from there.
UCLA just in order to save on your undergraduate bills, unless as someone else advised Princeton can get close to the same aid.
