<p>I applied to and received a large scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh Honors College back in the day. The core of their honors program is full of kids who are UofC caliber, many of whom chose big scholarships to Pitt over HPY or Chicago. Obviously it’s not a UofC tier school, but they have great study abroad, and it almost can’t be beat if you’re interested in philosophy (take a look at the UofC Philosophy faculty pages… a huge number have PhDs from Pitt) or neuroscience. Definitely worth looking at.</p>
