@Cheapdad00 , I agree 100%. My DD received a full tuition ride at ASU Barrett Honors, and we both like it a lot. We live in CA so it’s a substantial amount of money ($29K/year). My daughter understands finances and value, so we can’t justify paying $60-$70K/year for undergrad.
In the end, she decided not to apply to UNC. No interest in any schools on the East Coast. Being that she was rejected yesterday at UT Austin, her chances would have been very slim anyway at UNC.
Waiting on the UCs and some other schools before making her final decision.
