We are not sure all schools for all majors are worth the sticker price so when we get to the point of having options, we’ll be comparing for relative value. But for the initial list, all prices are on the table.

However, it is best to make the determination of whether a school is worth what price (list price, or the target price after any merit) before the student applies, so that it does not end up being a wasted application after the student gets admitted and then it is determined to be too expensive.
