<p>Need some advice from you.
Both Uconn (honor) and RPI accepted my S to the engineering school. Both offered merit scholarship. My S ranks 4 out of 425 in the class with 2240 SAT score (no ACT). Many AP Credits with 790 (US History), 800 (AP Chem) and 790 (Math II). Applied to all the top 10 US news ranked school and got 3 waited list but no formal accept. So very like, we have to pick one between Uconn Honor and RPI.
My S is not qualified for the needed based aid. But the merit scholarships (all renewable for 4 years) covered major part of total attendance cost.
For Uconn, it is about $17,000 comparing to about $22.000 per year out of our pocket.</p>
<p>Will it be worth the extra $5,000 to go RPI instead of Uconn honor program?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
