me:

As I said, she turned down some excellent schools (Hamilton, Case, Scripps, Centre ) when the $ left to pay after scholarships was equivalent

psych:

I thought your D got a full ride to Rhodes, but not to the other schools, though she did receive significant merit aid?



She made the decisions, above , IIRC, during Bellingrath week-end (told me when she got home) but before the Bellingrath was awarded, when the $ were roughly equivalent between the schools mentioned. They were all fine schools , she just preferred Rhodes at even money.

IIRC, she had the Trustees at Case, Schambach at Hamilton, James E. Scripps at Scripps, and …uhhhh…I can’t remember at Centre (but about the same $). Both Scripps and Hamilton came with extra bene’s on top of the merit award.

She had excellent choices from an excellent list.
