Have you run the Net Price Calculators for any of the schools you are considering? To say “I’m not going to look at cost at all” is foolhardy at best. There are many schoools - Ivy League schools included - that are very generous with aid. There are many more that aren’t. Some Ivy schools are more generous than others, so you need to run the calculators. What have your parents said they will contribute for college? Vandy is known for good aid, but you should get on their website and run the numbers to see what kind of aid you might anticipate.
