Final days for son to choose. Stevens offered full scholarship, Scholar Program, summer research…RPI offered 10K merit, 14K grant - but the grant will probably disappear in two years when older son is done with college. Familiar with rankings in US News…know RPI is higher, but think Stevens not as low as they say. Sounds like there may be more opportunities at Stevens given the scholarship / program; when schools do that they’ve made an investment that they want to see succeed. Concerned about how reputation may affect placement / after college plans. Any experience / advice / two cents appreciated.
