Thanks for your advice and suggestions. I cannot apply Early Decision to commit to an 80K/year education. My parents had HYPSM education/work experience themselves, which means they both value that experience AND do not think it’s indispensable. My state school has an honor’s program that routinely sends people to HYPSM for graduate/professional schools. Thanks for all the suggestions about merit scholarship. I’ll look into these for the RD applications.
