<p>Miami gives a 10K automatic discount to good OOS students, which I have told you repeatedly. That means that if you are paying the bill, you are looking at a diffence between 15 and 27 between IU and Miami for the same student. IU wins, obviously, purely on cost. But then you have to look at what YOU can afford and what your kid wants. My son liked the smaller school with a focus on undergrads. And clearly, if you are accepted into the Honors college at Miami, you have a great shot at professional school. What is the best college for one kid is not the best college for another. Where I think that the fanaticism comes in is for the people who only see Ivy as high quality, or even BEST quality. There are schools that are ranked very highly that either have NO business school for undergrads, or schools that don’t rank as highly as Miami (or IU). My son would have loved to go to Northwestern or Vanderbilt, for example, but without undergraduate Business schools, they came off the list…not to mention the cost to attend.</p>
