@RayManta Yes, I ran net price calculators or program equivalents for all my schools. For Vanderbilt, they did not provide the financial aid we were expecting. I know the calculators aren’t 100% accurate, but Vanderbilt was expected to be about 5k/year more than GT/UGA instead of 15k/year. We may have been able to restructure and get a better package, but I was already pretty set on GT. It just made the decision clearer I guess.

For the other schools, they were mainly on par or better than Vanderbilt in terms of calculated price. There were a few, HYP, that were significantly cheaper. In fact, Harvard essentially matched GT/UGA, but, again, that was from the calculated price and not actual financial aid packages.
