<p>@shawnspencer: Yes, my family will be able to pay about $30,000 a year. But I don’t want to exhaust all their money (for grad school and my siblings’ sake), so I am trying to find colleges with net prices of $20,000 and below. I have run the net price calculators on all the colleges/universities I listed above, and they are all within that range.
@warblersrule: I do love Johns Hopkins, but I am a little frightened by the stereotype of cutthroat pre-professionalism. Do you know if there is any truth to that?
Oh, and Duke looks great!</p>
