<p>Thanks to everyone for your help. After further investigation I have concluded Purdue and Georgia Tech offer about the same quality education and I can’t go wrong with either. So… I am pursuing additional merit based aid from GT. If they don’t come up with at least some additional $, it would be foolish for me to pass up the 50K+ savings at Purdue.</p>
<p>Any thoughts on the best way to approach GT about the additional merit based aid? At this point, even if they just came up with half of what Purdue offered, I’d probably go there.</p>
