<p>Money is a problem (but not significantly).
I live in MD but I am in love with Boston.</p>

<p>UMD only gave me 6000 in loans, but I got into the honors program.</p>

<p>BU gave me a 26000 grant and some loans, and I would be in the school of education.</p>

<p>Smith offered me around the same amount as BU, but its all-girls.</p>

<p>I also got into UCLA, NYU, MCPHS, and Northeastern.</p>

<p>My mother and father do not want me to go to BU because they want me to go to a school with a higher academics ranking.</p>

<p>What should I do?</p>

<p>Since you have been chosen for the honors program at UMCP, I would say go there since UMCP places a big emphasize on its honors program. Plus it is a public ivy. </p>

<p>I think your best choices in this situation are NYU (though you might miss out on campus experience), UCLA (unless you don’t like flying), and UMCP(large public university so individual students might not get much attention). Try to apply for their scholarships if their grants don’t suffice. </p>

<p>Hope I helped!</p>
