<p>Hi guys, I'm a high school senior and I applied to UMass (my safety) and Northeastern (my target). With financial aid UMass comes out to being free, but Northeastern comes out to around $13,000 per year....which is still awesome. In my high school class I was ranked 10/177 with a 96.7 GPA and a 2060 SAT score, and I absolutely love Northeastern...the location in Boston, the Co-op program and everything; however, UMass is incredibly tempting coming out debt free. Also, I'm a runner and Northeastern has a running club where I could run but UMass doesn't have anything and being a member of a team is something I'm big about. I'm just a little unsure over what to choose because I feel that Northeastern reflects the effort I've put into high school over the past four years, where if I went to UMass it would be like I could have put in much less effort and still have been accepted (I'm not trying to sound pretentious, but it's just how I feel). Any thoughts on what I should do?</p>
