Thought about Tufts, but not even the possibility of merit makes it tough for mom & dad haha. Same with Wesleyan. CMU is the only school on her list that would be full price currently but feel like how aggressively those kids get recruited it might be worth it.
We’ll check into BU - we kind of honed in on Northeastern as her Boston option and didn’t look much further. But I see BU offers a nice scholarship for the National Recognition Award - thanks for the suggestion!
