| I would love to say that my decision was based on my school's overall vibe and quality of majors, etc., but money was the deciding factor. In fact, it was the only factor. My mom and I had pretty much decided that I would go to whichever school offered me the most financial aid (luckily it was one of my favorites) I filled out my reply card as soon as I read my financial aid award. Yale is amazing and I'm so thankful I have the opportunity to be here, but it would have been nice to be in the position to consider my options a bit more. If you have that opportunity, then I think the overall fit should definitely be your deciding factor. |
