Are these the only 3 you are considering or do you have other offers…I know you narrowed down but maybe you want to reassess all your options?
As a mom who made many mistakes with my own school debt, I would suggest sticking to the best financial offer for an ABET program. Student loans are not fun and your parents would have to take plus loans. At your age, you have no idea how loans can impact lifelong decisions…but trust me they can!
My son got into an amazing school with full need met…unfortunately the full need they met exceeded what we can comfortably pay per year…and his scholarships just dented into the school aid leaving the amount we owe as the amount we owe. So, yes, a gap can exist between what a school thinks is need met and what families can pay at times.
Good luck! D - day is close!
