<p>What about Elon? If they give merit money, I would think she would be in the running to get some.</p>
<p>All the contract colleges at Cornell are considered to be private institutions, not state parties. Other than giving discounted tuitions to NYS residents, there is no requirement when it comes to admissions. One may even assume non residents would get a bump because of higher tuitions.</p>
<p>kathmommy, it’s great she is keeping options open. It does seem a little limiting to focus on business programs 
But if she loves the subject, great! </p>
<p>Just want to inject a little caution about the difference between undergrad and grad business degrees in terms of long term job prospects.</p>
<p>If she is undecided or interested in exploring other subjects she could pick schools based on other things, like location, size, curriculum and “vibe.” She is highly qualified and should have a lot of great options. Interning and volunteering can improve job prospects, and an MBA is a possibility in the future. You can major in anything and go on to an MBA. Many students who go into business, banking etc. seem to major in economics, which is very interesting.</p>
<p>If she loves business already though, and is sure she wants to major in it, that’s wonderful and narrowing the search does make sense.</p>
<p>She may want to get a broader liberal arts education for UG, maybe few finance/accounting courses. After UG work for few years at a chosen career. If she wants to change her career after few years then she could get her MBA as a way to re-tool herself. As an example, by major in math/econ/cs (or any STEM) she could get a job as analyst in banking. After few years, if she wants to go into marketing, hospitality, real estate investment…she could make the switch by getting her MBA. IMO, most UG business degrees are very limiting.</p>
<p>Your D would likely get significant merit aid at Northeastern and would be competitive for the full tuition Scholars program.</p>
<p>BC awards about a dozen full tuition merit scholarships but everything else is need based. </p>
