<p>Where did you get the most aid? </p>
<p>For my D, we would rank in this order unless one gave significant merit or other aid:</p>
<ol>
<li>Northeastern</li>
<li>Howard </li>
<li>Temple–only because their graduation rate for AAs is not too hot & lower than Howard
for male students, and equal to Howard for female students.</li>
</ol>
<p>And most urban schools are in, well, urban areas. I’d have no problem sending my D to any of these schools. Would you not attend Columbia U or Barnard because of the neighborhood?</p>
