Hey guys,
I’ve been going back and forth about which college i should pick. The choices are Rutgers University, University of Maryland, and University of Minnesota. I know that preferences matter in these decisions, but really, I’m fine with any of these three colleges (I eliminated the colleges that I didn’t really like, or the ones that were too expensive). So I figured it would be nice to have your input.
Potential Majors (I’ll probably double major, but we’ll see):
Environmental Science, Economics, Marketing
Rutgers:
I’m probably going to go to the business school (rather than the School of Arts and Sciences or SEBS) if I go here because I got a $5500 scholarship to this college (which brings the total cost down to around $22-23k per year.). I also got into the honors program (SAS Honors which also applies to the Business school) here.
UMD:
Got into the Scholars Program here, and the EFC is $23000 (I also got the presidents scholarship ($12k per year) and the AGNR scholarship ($2500 per year), but from what I understand, it doesn’t decrease the EFC – and so the total cost might be closer to $27K).
UMinn:
I understand that this is overall a better college, and the total cost comes down to around $21000, but I didn’t get into the honors program here.
Money matters to me-- cause I want to go to law school, but I’m not sure how much difference ~$5k per year would make.
Sigh.
So yeah… Whatever advice you have, I’ll take it, cause I’m stuck.
