<p>I live in Maryland, and UNC has always been my dream school. I got in out of state by the Early Action deadline, which was a big surprise to me. I also got into Maryland, and qualified for the Scholars program there.</p>
<p>I want to major in public health, and both schools have good programs for that. The one thing is, UNC's tuition is about 32,000 all together and Maryland's would be 20,000 all together. My parents want me to go to Maryland because I would be able to graduate without debt and they could help me with grad school. I've applied to scholarships, but I can't get much need based financial aid. I've been going to private schools since the 3rd grade, and my high school tuition now is only 2,000 less than UNC's tuition.</p>
<p>Financially, Maryland makes the most sense. And I don't dislike Maryland either, it's basically the same as UNC except in an environment that I'm already familiar with. I love UNC, but I don't know if it's worth over $60,000 more that I'm going to have to pay off later in my life.
Please help!</p>
