<p>Hahaha…well…you will find students at MD who got into the crimson option but couldn’t afford it. Or something similar…my friend turned down a full ride to Columbia University for a full ride here because the Columbia Uni scholarship came with strings attached.</p>
<p>Or students like me who got into other Top 10 unis but had parents who didn’t “trust them” enough to send them out of state.</p>
<p>Another friend, in fact, turned down NYU because MD was cheaper…her parents had the EFC to send her to NYU (she also got a significant scholarship), but they just refused to pay for her education at all, so she is working 30 hrs a week at a high paying job just to make tuition at the state uni.</p>
<p>So, I would say you could be in a much worse situation. At least you don’t have to live with the annoyance of knowing you got in, but are forced to attend somewhere else for various other reasons :P. </p>
<p>Now you have two great options and there’s nothing to regret, no matter the choice you make, and the choice is in your hands :).</p>
